Windshield wipers


1 Thumb wheel
2 Rain sensor on/off
Windshield wipers off
If the lever is in the 0 position and you move it upwards, the wipers will sweep one stroke at a time for as long as you hold the lever up.
Single sweep position
Move the lever slightly upward from the 0 position for one sweep of the wipers. The lever returns automatically to 0 when released.
Intermittent wiper function
With the lever in this position, you can set the wiper interval by twisting the control ring (1) upward to increase wiper speed or downward to decrease the speed.
Windshield washer/headlight washer (certain models)
When the lever is pulled to wash the windshield, high pressure jets mounted in the bumper will spray the headlights.
• To conserve washer fluid in driving conditions where the windshield washers are used frequently, the headlights will only be washed once for every five times the windshield is washed within a 10-minute period.
• A short pull on the lever will wash the windshield only.
• When approximately 1 US quart (1 liter) remains in the washer fluid reservoir, the headlights will not be washed when the lever is pulled to conserve washer fluid for the windshield.
