{Warning
In freezing weather, do not use
the washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the
windshield, blocking your vision.
Auto Wipe in Reverse Gear
If the rear wiper control is off, the
rear wiper will automatically operate
continuously when the vehicle is in
R (Reverse), and the front
windshield wiper is performing low
or high speed wipes. If the rear
wiper control is off, the vehicle is in
R (Reverse), and the front
windshield wiper is performing
intermittent wipes, then the rear
wiper automatically performs
intermittent wipes.
This feature can be turned on or off.
See Vehicle Personalization 0146. The windshield washer reservoir is
used for the windshield and the rear
window. Check the fluid level in the
reservoir if either washer is not
working.
Rear Wiper Arm Assembly
Protection
Wiper operation returns to normal
when the shift lever is no longer in
N (Neutral) or the vehicle speed
increases. The rear wiper will also
stop when the liftgate is open.
When using an automatic car wash,
move the rear wiper control to OFF
to disable the rear wiper. If the shift
lever is in N (Neutral) and the
vehicle speed is very slow, the rear
wiper will automatically stop at the
base of the rear window.
Compass
The vehicle has a compass display
in the instrument cluster above the
speedometer. The compass
receives its heading and other
information from the Global
Positioning System (GPS) antenna
and vehicle speed information. The compass system has automatic
calibration and zone adjustment
features.
Avoid covering the GPS antenna for
long periods of time with objects
that may interfere with the antenna's
ability to receive a satellite signal.
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. The compass system will
automatically determine when a
GPS signal is restored and provide
a heading.
Clock
The infotainment system controls
are used to access the time and
date settings through the menu.
This can also be changed by
touching the clock, then touch
8to

Programmable Charging
Important Information about
Portable Electric Vehicle Charging
.Charging an electric vehicle can
stress a building’ s electrical
system more than a typical
household appliance.
. Before plugging in to any
electrical outlet, have a qualified
electrician inspect and verify the
electrical system (electrical
outlet, wiring, junctions, and
protection devices) for
heavy-duty service at a 10 amp
continuous load.
. Electrical outlets may wear out
with normal usage or may be
damaged over time, making
them unsuitable for electric
vehicle charging.
. Check the electrical outlet/plug
while charging and discontinue
use if the electrical outlet/plug is
hot, then have the electrical
outlet serviced by a qualified
electrician. .
When outdoors, plug into an
electrical outlet that is
weatherproof while in use.
. Mount the charge cord to reduce
strain on the electrical
outlet/plug.
. Do not place the charge cord in
a position where it is expected to
be submerged in water.
{Danger
Improper use of portable electric
vehicle charge cords may cause
a fire, electrical shock, or burns,
and may result in damage to
property, serious injury, or death.
. Do not use extension cords,
multi-outlet power strips,
splitters, grounding
adaptors, surge protectors,
or similar devices.
. Do not use an electrical
outlet that is worn or
damaged, or will not hold
the plug firmly in place.

Danger (Continued)
.Do not use an electrical
outlet that is not properly
grounded.
. Do not use an electrical
outlet that is on a circuit with
other electrical loads.

The charge Start and charge
Complete time estimations are also
displayed. These estimations are

Programmable Charging, not the
clock in the center stack. Charge Mode Selection
Immediate :
The vehicle starts
charging as soon as it is connected
to an electrical outlet. This may be
the only mode available at public
DC charging stations. See Plug-In
Charging 0237.
Departure : The vehicle will
schedule charging to complete by
the programmed departure time.
The vehicle estimates the charging
schedule based on programmed
departure times, charge rate limits,
electric rate preference and
schedule, and priority charging
settings. If there is not sufficient
time after the charge cord is
plugged in, the vehicle will not be
fully charged by the departure time.
Departure Time Entry
The Departure charge mode allows
for the departure time to be entered
to match your personal schedule.
1. With Departure charge mode selected, touch Edit.
