Heavy snow or ice can overload
the wipers. If this occurs, a circuit
breaker will stop the wipers until the
motor cools. Clear all ice and snow
from the wiper blades before using
them. If frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen them or thaw them.
Damaged wiper blades should be
replaced. See Wiper Blade
Replacement on page 10‑46.
Windshield Washer
The lever on the right side of
the steering column also controls
the windshield washer. There is
a button at the end of the lever.
To spray washer fluid on the
windshield, press the button and
hold it. The washer will spray until
you release the button. The wipers
will continue to clear the window for
about six seconds after the button is
released and then stop or return to
your preset speed.

WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use
the washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the
windshield, blocking your vision.
If the fluid in the windshield washer
fluid reservoir is low, the message
CHECK WASHER FLUID will
appear on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) display. It will take
15 seconds after the bottle is refilled
for this message to turn off. For
information on the correct washer
fluid to use, see Washer Fluid on
page 10‑37 and Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 11‑6.
Compass
Compass Operation
With the compass feature on,
each time the vehicle is started, the
compass will take a few seconds
to adjust and display the current
compass heading. For example,
NE is displayed for north-east.
Compass Calibration
Press
P
once to turn the compass
display on or off.
If after several seconds the display
does not show a compass heading,
there may be a strong magnetic
field interfering with the compass.
Interference can be caused by a
magnetic antenna mount, note pad
holder, or similar object. If the
letter C or CAL appears in the
compass window, the compass
needs calibration.
