Windshield Washer
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer fluid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
LQ (Washer Fluid): There is a paddle marked
with the windshield washer symbol at the top of
the multifunction lever. Push the paddle to
spray washer fluid on the windshield. The wipers
will clear the window and then either stop or
return to the preset speed.
_ (Heated Washer Fluid): If your vehicle has
the heated windshield washer fluid system, it
is used to help clear ice, snow, tree sap, or bugs
from your windshield.
To activate Automatic mode for de-icing, press the
heated washer button located above the
headlamp switch on the left side of the dash.
Pushing the heated washer fluid button will
activate the heated windshield washer fluid
system. This activation will initiate four heated
wash/wipe cycles. The first heated wash/wipe
cycle may take up to 40 seconds to occur,
depending on outside temperature. After the first
wash/wipe cycle, it may take up to 20 seconds
for each of the remaining cycles. The heated
windshield washer fluid system may be turned off
at any time by pushing the button again prior
to the completion of 4 wash/wipe cycles.
When the heated windshield washer fluid system
is activated under certain outside temperature
conditions, steam may flow out of the washer
nozzles for a short period of time before washer
fluid is sprayed. This is a normal condition.
A message will be displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) when the washer fluid is
low. See DIC Warnings and Messages on
page 226.
