Wipers

CAUTION: Do not activate the wipers if they are frozen to the windshield because this can damage the wiper blades and the wiper motor.
CAUTION: Do not activate the wipers on a dry windshield because this can damage or cause unnecessary wear to the wiper blades.

Refer to the following control wiper icons in the left Glass Cockpit Panel:



Off




In AUTO, the vehicles rain sensor detects whether or not it is raining and will activates the wipers, as required. The sensitivity of the wiper activation is selected by the LO or HI icons.


LOW Speed Continuous Wipe


HIGH Speed Continuous Wipe


DE-ICE: Activate the wiper de-ice feature when there is ice/snow build-up on the windshield to assist in quick ice removal. This feature can only be activated when the vehicle is in Park and sufficient washer fluid is in the washer reservoir.
Note: Intervals between wipes reduce as the vehicle’s speed increases.

Washers

Warning: Operating the washers in cold weather can cause the fluid to freeze on the windshield, potentially obscuring your vision and causing a collision. Use the windshield heater to warm the windshield to reduce the possibility of the fluid freezing.


The left steering column stalk button is used for wiper controls. To get a single dry wipe, press the button to the first detent once or press and hold at the first detent for multiple dry wipes. To spray the washer fluid, press the button to the second detent or press and hold at the second detent for multiple wash-wipe cycles.

The wipers will operate with washer. Release the button to stop the washer. The wipers will make several extra sweeps after the button is released.

The warning indicator will display on the Glass Cockpit Panel if the fluid level in the washer reservoir is low.

CAUTION: Do not operate the washers when the fluid reservoir is empty or frozen. This can cause the washer pump to overheat and fail.
