Headlight WashersOn Canadian modelsThe headlight washers can be
operated at any time by pressing the
headlight washer button located next
to the steering wheel column. The
headlights must be turned on to use
this button. In addition, the headlight
washer operates without pressing the
button the first time you turn on the
windshield washers with the ignition
switch in the ON (II) position. The headlight washers use the same
fluid reservoir as the windshield
washers.
Models equipped with the keyless
access system have an engine start/
stop button instead of an ignition
switch. ON mode is the equivalent of
ON (II). See page 196 for ignition
switch and power mode comparison.
