multifunction lever, inward to the first detent to acti-
vate a single wipe cycle to clear the windshield of road
mist or spray from a passing vehicle. The wipers will
continue to operate until you release the lever.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the
washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be
sprayed on the windshield. The wash function must be
used in order to spray the windshield with washer fluid.
HEADLIGHT WASHERS (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Headlight Washers are recessed into the top of
the fascia, centrally located below each headlight.

located on the left side of the steering column.

located on the end of the multifunction lever, inward to
the second detent to activate the windshield washers
and release it. When this is done, the two stationary
washer nozzles at each headlight spray one timed
high-pressure spray of washer fluid onto each headlight
lens. In addition, the windshield washers will spray the
windshield and the windshield wipers will cycle.
NOTE:
After turning the ignition switch and head-
lights ON, the headlight washers will operate on the
first spray of the windshield washer and then every
eleventh spray after that.
