The windshield wiper/washer lever is located on the right
side of the steering column.
NOTE:The windshield wipers/washers will only operate
with the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

windshield wipers. The windshield wiper lever can be
moved in several positions to access these modes.
Windshield Wiper Off
This is the normal position of the wiper lever.

detent. The wipers will operate at intermittent
speed. When the vehicle’s speed increases, the time be-
tween the wipes will decrease.
Low Speed
Rotate the end of the lever upward to the second
detent. The wipers will operate at low speed.
High Speed
Rotate the end of the lever upward to the third
detent. The wipers will operate at high speed.

Front Windshield Washer Operation
Pull the windshield wiper/washer lever toward the steer-
ing wheel to activate the washers. The wipers will activate
automatically for three cycles after the lever is released.
CAUTION!
•Turn the windshield wipers off when driving
through an automatic car wash. Damage to the wind-
shield wipers may result if the wiper control is left in
any position other than off.
• In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and
allow the wipers to return to the “Park” position
before turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is
left on and the wipers freeze to the windshield,
damage to the wiper motor may occur when the
vehicle is restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents
the windshield wiper blades from returning to the
off position. If the windshield wiper control is
turned off and the blades cannot return to the off
position, damage to the wiper motor may occur.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer
Rear Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the windshield wiper lever center ring upwards to
operate the rear window wiper as follows:
• In intermittent mode when the front window wiper is
not operating.
• In synchronous mode (at half the speed of the front
window wiper) when the front window wiper is oper-
ating.
• In continuous mode with reverse engaged.
With the windshield wipers on and reverse gear engaged,
rear window wiping will be continuous in the same way.
Rear Windshield Washer Operation
Pushing the windshield wiper lever forward activates the
rear window washer. Keep the windshield wiper lever
pushed for more than quarter a second to activate the rear
window wiper as well. Releasing the windshield wiper
lever will activate the smart washing function, as described
for the windshield wipers.
The function stops when the windshield wiper lever is
released.

multiple Speed Control functions are operated at the same
time. If this occurs, the Electronic Speed Control System
can be reactivated by pushing the ON/OFF button and
resetting the desired vehicle set speed.

the Instrument Cluster Display will illuminate. To turn the
system off, push the ON/OFF button a second time. The Cruise Indicator Light will turn off. The system should be
turned off when not in use.
WARNING!
Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on when
not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally set the
system or cause it to go faster than you want. You could
lose control and have an accident. Always leave the
system OFF when you are not using it.
To Set A Desired Speed

and on level ground before pushing the SET (-) button.
To Deactivate
A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the CAN button, or
normal brake pressure while slowing the vehicle will
deactivate Electronic Speed Control without erasing the set
speed memory. Pushing the ON/OFF button or turning the

Metric Speed (km/h)
•Pushing the SET (-) button once will result in a 1 km/h
decrease in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the button
results in a decrease of 1 km/h.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will

new set speed will be established.
To Accelerate For Passing
Press the accelerator as you would normally. When the
pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Using Electronic Speed Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the
vehicle set speed.
NOTE: The Electronic Speed Control system maintains
speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on
moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it
may be preferable to drive without Electronic Speed Con-
trol.
WARNING!
Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the
system cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle
could go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose
control and have an accident. Do not use Electronic
Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
PARKSENSE REAR PARK ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
The Park Assist system provides an audible indication of
the distance between the rear fascia/bumper and a de-
tected obstacle when backing up, e.g. during a parking
maneuver. Refer to ParkSense System Usage Precautions
for limitations of this system and recommendations.
The Park Assist is automatically activated when the trans-
mission is placed into REVERSE. As the distance from an
obstacle behind the vehicle decreases, the audible alert
becomes more frequent.
