To turn on the rear washer, hold the
windshield wiper lever toward the
front of the vehicle to spray the
rear window.
The rear wiper turns on
automatically when the windshield
wiper is turned on and the shift lever
is in R (Reverse).
The rear window washer uses the
same uid bottle as the windshield
washer. However, the rear window
washer will run out of uid before
the windshield washer. If washer
uid sprays onto the windshield but
not the rear window, check the
uid level. SeeWindshield Washer
Fluid on page 9-20.
For information on replacing the
rear wiper blades, seeWindshield
Wiper Blade Replacement on
page 9-21.Accessory Power

The 12-volt accessory power outlets
can be used to connect electrical
equipment, such as a cellular phone.
There may be a accessory power
outlet located inside the console
below the climate controls.
Notice:Leaving electrical
equipment on for extended
periods will drain the battery.
Always turn off electrical
equipment when not in use and
do not plug in equipment that
exceeds the maximum 20 ampere
rating.
Certain electrical accessories
may not be compatible with the
accessory power outlet and could
result in blown vehicle or adapter
fuses. If there is a problem,
see your dealer/retailer for
additional information on the
accessory power outlet.Notice:Adding any electrical
equipment to your vehicle
may damage it or keep other
components from working as
they should. The repairs would not
be covered by your warranty.
Check with your dealer/retailer
before adding electrical
equipment.
When adding electrical equipment,
be sure to follow the installation
instructions included with the
equipment.
Notice:Improper use of the
power outlet can cause damage
not covered by the warranty.
Do not hang any type of
accessory or accessory bracket
from the plug because the

The wiring circuits in the vehicle
are protected from short circuits by
fuses. This greatly reduces the
chance of damage caused by
electrical problems.
Look at the silver-colored band
inside the fuse. If the band is
broken or melted, replace the fuse.
Be sure to replace a bad fuse
with a new one of the identical size
and rating.
There are two fuse blocks in the
vehicle: one in the engine
compartment and one in the trunk.
There is a fuse puller located on
the rear compartment fuse block.
SeeRear Compartment Fuse Block
on page 9-37. It can be used to
easily remove fuses from the
fuse block.
