WINDSHIELD WIPERS

Note:

Fully defrost the windshield in icy conditions before turning on

the windshield wipers.

Rotate the end of the control away
from you to increase the speed of
the wipers. Rotate toward you to
decrease the speed of the wipers.

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.

Keep the outside of the windshield clean, especially the area around the
interior mirror where the sensor is located, or sensor performance may
be affected.

WINDSHIELD WASHERS

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 burn out.
Always use the windshield washer before wiping a dry windshield.

Note:

Do not operate the washer when the washer reservoir is empty.

This may cause the washer pump to overheat.
