WINDSHIELD WIPERS

Note: Fully defrost the windshield before
you switch the windshield wipers on.

Note: Make sure you switch the windshield
wipers off before entering a car wash.

Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. 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 burn out. Always use the
windshield washers before wiping a dry
windshield.

AUTOWIPERS

(If Equipped)

Note: Fully defrost the windshield before
you switch the windshield wipers on.

Note: Make sure you switch the windshield
wipers off before entering a car wash.

Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. If that does not resolve the
issue, install new wiper blades.

Note: If you switch autolamps and
autowipers on, the headlamps turn on when
the windshield wipers continuously operate.

Wet or winter driving conditions with ice,
snow or salty road mist can cause
inconsistent and unexpected wiping or
smearing.

E215460

High sensitivity.

A

On.

B

Low sensitivity.

C

Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the autowipers. When you
select low sensitivity, the wipers operate
when the sensor detects a large amount
of water on the windshield. When you
select high sensitivity, the wipers operate
when the sensor detects a small amount
of water on the windshield.

Keep the outside of the windshield clean.
The rain sensor is very sensitive and the
wipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects
hit the windshield.

In these conditions, you can do the
following:
•

Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers
to reduce the amount of smearing on
the windshield.

•

Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.

•

Switch autowipers off.

Autowipers Settings

Autowipers default to on and remain on
until you switch it off in the information
display. When you switch off autowipers,
the wipers operate in intermittent mode.

WINDSHIELD WASHERS

Note: Do not operate the washers when
the washer reservoir is empty. This may
cause the washer pump to overheat.

Pull the lever toward you to operate the
windshield washers. When you release the
lever, wiping continues for a short period
of time.
