WINDSHIELD WIPERS

Note: Fully defrost the windshield before turning on the windshield wipers.

Note: Make sure the windshield wipers are turned off before entering a
car wash.

Note: Clean the windshield and wiper blades if they begin to leave
streaks or smears. If that does not resolve the issue, install new wiper
blades.

Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry windshield. This may scratch
the glass, damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper motor to bun out.
Always use the windshield washers before wiping a dry windshield.

Rotate the end of the control:
• away from you to increase the

wiper speed

• toward you to decrease the wiper

speed.

Speed Dependent Wipers

When your vehicle speed increases, the interval between wipes will
decrease when intermittent wipe is selected.

RAIN-SENSING WIPERS (IF EQUIPPED)

Note: Wet road conditions may result in inconsistent or unexpected
wiping or smearing. Lower the sensitivity, switch to normal or high-speed
wiping or turn the wipers off to reduce smearing.

Note: Turn off the wipers before entering a car wash.

Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity to one of the interval
moisture settings. The wipers will
not cycle until moisture is detected
on the windshield. The wiper
speed will vary based on the
amount of moisture detected on
the windshield and the sensitivity

setting. The wipers will continue to wipe as long as moisture is detected.
