Windshield Wipers
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If the wiper blades are
frozen to the windshield, gently loosen or thaw
them. If the blades do become damaged,
install new blades or blade inserts. SeeWindshield
Wiper Blade Replacement on page 335.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor.
A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it
cools down. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an
overload. If the wipers gets stuck, turn the
wipers off, clear away the snow or ice, and then
turn the wipers back on.Use this lever, located on the right side of the
steering wheel, to operate the windshield wipers.
1(High Speed):Move the lever to this
position for steady wiping at high speed.
6(Low Speed):Move the lever to this
position for steady wiping at low speed.
&(Delay):Move the lever to this position to set
a delay between wipes.
157

6(Delay/Intermittent Speed Sensitive):When
the lever is in the delay position, move the
intermittent adjust band to set for shorter or longer
delay cycles. To the left of the adjust band are
bars that indicate the frequency of the wipes.
Smaller bars mean the wiper movement is less
frequent. Larger bars mean the wiper movement is
more frequent.
During intermittent wiping mode, the delay cycle
time is sensitive to vehicle speed. As the vehicle
speed increases your delay cycle time will decrease
and wiper movement will occur more frequently.
9(Off):Move the lever to this position to turn off
the windshield wipers.
8(Mist):Move the lever all the way down to
mist and release for a single wiping cycle.
The windshield wipers will stop after one wipe and
the lever will return to its original position. If
additional wipes are needed, hold the band on
mist longer.
As an added safety feature, if the wipers are on
for more than 15 seconds, the vehicle’s headlamps
will turn on automatically. They will turn off
15 seconds after the wipers are turned off.
Windshield Washer
To wash your windshield, press the button at the
end of the lever until the washers begin.
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your
washer until the windshield is warmed.
Otherwise the washer uid can form ice
on the windshield, blocking your vision.
When you release the button, the washers will
stop, but the wipers will continue to wipe for about
three times or will resume the speed you were
using before.

Wiper Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlamps and parking
lamps after the windshield wipers are turned
on. For this feature to work, automatic lighting
must be enabled. SeeHeadlamps on page 163for
additional information.
When the ignition is turned off, the wiper-activated
headlamps will immediately turn off. They will
also turn off 15 seconds after the windshield wiper
control is turned off.
Headlamps on Reminder
If you open the driver’s door with the ignition off
and the lamps on, you will hear a warning chime.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier
for others to see the front of your vehicle during
the day. DRL can be helpful in many different
driving conditions, but they can be especially
helpful in the short periods after dawn and before
sunset. Fully functional daytime running lamps
are required on all vehicles rst sold in Canada.Your vehicle has a light sensor on top of the
instrument panel. Make sure it is not covered or
the headlamps will come on when you do not
need them.
The DRL system will make the headlamps come
on at reduced brightness when the following
conditions are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamp control is turned to AUTO.
The light sensor detects daytime light.
The shift lever is not in PARK (P).
While the DRL system is on, the taillamps,
sidemarker lamps, and instrument panel lights will
not be illuminated.
The DRL system will be off any time your vehicle
is in PARK (P). The DRL system on U.S.
vehicles can also be turned off by using the off/on
switch for one ignition cycle.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the
regular headlamp system when you need it.
