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 0121.
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.
