For easy access to the ignition switch,
the ignition switch light comes on when
any of the doors are opened.
Vehicles with the power door lock sys-
tem—
The light remains on for about 15 sec-
onds after all the doors are closed.
When all the doors are locked, or when
the ignition switch is turned to “ACC”
or “ON” after all the doors are closed,
the light fades out.
When any door is unlocked using ei-
ther the key or the wireless remote
control key, the light will come on and
remain on for about 15 seconds before
fading out.To prevent the battery being discharged,
the light will automatically turn off when
the ignition switch is in the “LOCK” posi-
tion and the door is left opened for 20
minutes or more.
To turn on the windshield wipers, move
the lever to the desired setting.
The key must be in the “ON” position.

The “INT TIME” band lets you adjust the
wiping time interval when the wiper lever
is in the intermittent position (position 1).
Twist the band upward to increase the
time between sweeps, and downward to
decrease it.
To squirt washer fluid, pull the lever
toward you.
If the windshield wipers are off, they will
operate a couple of times after the washer
squirts.
For instructions on adding washer fluid,
see “Adding washer fluid” on page 303 in
Section 7−3.
In freezing weather, warm the windshield
with the defroster before using the washer.
This will help prevent the washer fluid
from freezing on your windshield, which
can block your vision.
NOTICE
Do not operate the wipers if the wind-
shield is dry. It may scratch the
glass.
To turn on the rear window wiper, twist
the lever knob upward.
The key must be in the “ON” position.
