Windshield
Washer
The lever on the right side
of
your steering column also
controls your windshield washer. To spray washer fluid
on
the windshield, pull the lever toward you. The wipers
will clear the window and then either stop or return to
your preset speed. For more washer cycles, pull and
hold the lever.
If the fluid level in the windshield washer bottle is low,
the message LOW WASHER
FLUID
will appear in the
Driver Information Center. See “Windshield Washer
Fluid”
in
the Index.
Driving without washer fluid can be dangerous. A bad
mud splash can block your vision.
You
could hit another
vehicle or go
off
the road. Check your washer fluid
level often.
In
freezing weather, don’t use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can
form
ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.

Daytime Running Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make
it
easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the day.
DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
A light sensor on top
of
the instrument panel makes the
DRL work,
so
be sure it isn’t covered.
The DRL system will make your low-beam headlamps
come on at reduced brightness in daylight when:
The ignition is
on,
The headlamp switch is off, and
0
The transaxle is not in PARK (P).
