Rear window wiper/washer controls

For rear wiper operation, rotate the
rear window wiper and washer
control to the desired position.
Select:

2 — One second interval rear wiper.

1 — Ten second interval rear wiper.

O — Rear wiper and washer off.

For rear wash cycle, rotate (and hold as desired) the rear wiper/washer
control to either

position.

From either position, the control will automatically return to the 2 or O
(Off) position.

Changing the wiper blades

1. Pull the wiper arm away from the
vehicle. Turn the blade 90 degrees
from the wiper arm and remove it
from the arm.

2. Attach the new wiper to the
wiper arm by turning it 90 degrees
it into place.

Replace wiper blades at least once
per year for optimum performance.

Poor wiper quality can sometimes be improved by cleaning the wiper
blades, refer to Windows and wiper blades in the Cleaning chapter.

To prolong the life of the wiper blades, it is highly recommended to
scrape off the ice on the windshield before turning on the wipers. The
layer of ice has many sharp edges and can damage the micro edge of the
wiper rubber element.
