Wiper Arm Assembly
Protection
When using an automatic car
wash, move the windshield
wiper lever to OFF. This
disables the automatic
Rainsense windshield wipers.
With Rainsense, if the vehicle
is in N (Neutral) and the speed
is very slow, the wipers will
automatically stop at the base
of the windshield.
The wiper operations return
to normal when the vehicle is
no longer in N (Neutral) or the
vehicle speed has increased.

T 8:Push the button on the
side of the windshield wiper
lever once to spray washer
fluid and activate the wipers.
| L:Push the button on the
side of the windshield wiper
lever twice to spray washer
fluid and activate the wipers.
When the button is released,
additional wipes may occur
depending on how long the
windshield washer had been
activated. See Washer Fluid

102 Instruments and Controls
Wiper Parking
If the vehicle is off while the
wipers are on LO or HI, they
will immediately stop.
LL
If the windshield wiper lever is
then moved to OFF before the
driver door is opened or within
10 minutes, the wipers will
restart and move to the base
of the windshield.
If the vehicle is off while the
wipers are performing wipes
due to windshield washing or
Rainsense, the wipers
continue to run until they
reach the base of the
windshield.Rear Camera Washer
If equipped, turn the band to
Yto spray washer fluid on the
rear camera lens. Release the
band when done. See Rear
Camera Mirror 030.
Compass
The vehicle may have a
compass display on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). The
compass receives its heading
and other information from
the Global Positioning
System (GPS) antenna,
StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability
Control (ESC), and vehicle
speed information. The compass system is
designed to operate for a
certain number of miles or
degrees of turn before
needing a signal from the GPS
satellites. When the compass
display shows CAL, drive the
vehicle for a short distance in
an open area where it can
receive a GPS signal. The
compass system will
automatically determine when
a GPS signal is restored and
provide a heading again.
Clock
Set the time and date using
the infotainment system. See
"Time/Date" under Settings

Messages
REDUCED
ACCELERATION DRIVE
WITH CARE
This message displays when
the vehicle's propulsion power
is reduced. A reduction in
propulsion power can affect
the vehicle's ability to
accelerate. If this message is
on, but there is no observed
reduction in performance,
proceed to your destination.
Under certain conditions, the
performance may be reduced
the next time the vehicle is
driven. The vehicle may be
driven while this message is
on, but maximum acceleration
and speed may be reduced.
Anytime this message stayson, or displays repeatedly, the
vehicle should be taken to
your dealer for service as
soon as possible.
This message can be displayed
when the high voltage battery
charge level is low. The vehicle
is limiting power to maximize
range.
Under certain operating
conditions propulsion will be
disabled. Try restarting after
the vehicle has been off for
two minutes.
PROPULSION POWER
REDUCED DUE TO
TEMPERATURE
This message displays when
the vehicle is on, the battery
temperature is low, and when
the vehicle’s performance is
limited. The duration of the
limited vehicle performance
depends, in part, on the high
voltage battery charge level.
If the high voltage battery
charge level is relatively high,
as the vehicle is driven, the

is needed, be sure to read the
manufacturer's instructions
before use. If operating the
vehicle in an area where the
temperature may fall below
freezing, use a fluid that has
sufficient protection against
freezing.
Adding Washer Fluid

a washer fluid level indicator,
and the washer fluid reservoir
is low, a message displays on
the Driver Information Center
(DIC). See Driver Information
Center (DIC) 0132 for more
information.
Open the cap with the washer
symbol on it. Add washer fluid
until the tank is full. See
Underhood Compartment
Overview 0312 for reservoir
location.
Caution
.Do not use washer fluid
that contains any type of
water repellent coating.
This can cause the wiper
blades to chatter or skip.
.Do not use engine coolant
(antifreeze) in the
windshield washer. It can
damage the windshield
washer system and paint.
.Do not mix water with
ready-to-use washer fluid.

intakes, between the hood and
windshield, when washing the
vehicle.
Windshield and Wiper
Blades
Clean the outside of the
windshield with glass cleaner.

sand, salt, heat, sun, snow,
and ice.
Weatherstrips
Apply weatherstrip lubricant
on weatherstrips to make
them last longer, seal better,
and not stick or squeak.
Lubricate weatherstrips at
least once a year. Hot, dry
climates may require more
frequent application. Black
marks from rubber material on
painted surfaces can be
removed by rubbing with a
clean cloth. See
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants
0379.
Tires
Use a stiff brush with tire
cleaner to clean the tires.
Caution
Using petroleum-based tire
dressing products on the
vehicle may damage the
paint finish and/or tires.
When applying a tire
dressing, always wipe off
any overspray from all
painted surfaces on the
vehicle.
Wheels and Wheel Trim
Use a soft, clean cloth with
mild soap and water to clean
the wheels. After rinsing
thoroughly with clean water,
dry with a soft, clean towel.
A wax may then be applied.
Caution
Chrome wheels and chrome
wheel trim may be damaged
if the vehicle is not washed
after driving on roads that
have been sprayed with
magnesium chloride or
calcium chloride. These are
