If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is turned
to the LOCK position, the wiper will automatically return
to the “Park” position. When the vehicle is restarted, the
wiper will resume function at whichever position the
switch is set at.

CAUTION!

Turn the rear wiper off when driving through an

automatic car wash. Damage to the rear wiper may
result if the rear wiper switch is left in the on
position.

In cold weather, always turn off the rear wiper

switch and allow the rear wiper to return to the
park position before turning off the engine. If the
rear wiper switch is left on and the rear wiper
freezes to the window, damage to the rear wiper
motor may occur when the vehicle is restarted.

CAUTION! (Continued)

Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents

the rear wiper blade from returning to the park
position. If the rear wiper control is turned off and
the blade cannot return to the park position, dam-
age to the rear wiper motor may occur.

Rear Window Defroster

The rear window defroster button is located on the
climate control panel. Press this button to turn on

the rear window defroster and the heated outside mirrors
(if equipped). An indicator in the button will illuminate
when the rear window defroster is on. The rear window
defroster automatically turns off after approximately
10 minutes.

NOTE:

To prevent excessive battery drain, use the rear

window defroster only when the engine is operating.
