to enjoy when you’re behind the wheel. Just press the lower,
left-hand red corner of the touch screen. From here, you
can easily go between AM/FM, CD, USB and other media
sources. You use your touch screen or the audio controls on
your steering wheel to interact with your digital media.
Bring in Your Own Music
Your media hub is located in your center console. The
media hub includes two USB ports, an SD card slot and
RCA connections. Use them to access digital media such as
MP3s, gaming systems, cameras and phones. It’s never been
easier to control what you listen to. Plug in your compatible
digital music player, USB drive or SD card and SYNC will do
the rest. Browse your music collection however you’d prefer,
by genre, album, artist, playlist and song title using voice
commands. “Play Genre: Rock,” or “Play [Artist]” or “Play

Wiper Operation
Adjust the wiper stalk and
its controls to operate the
front and rear wipers.
• Single wipe - Pull the
stalk down.
• Intermittent wipe - Raise
the stalk upward to
position 1.
• Normal wipe - Raise the
stalk upward to position 2.
• High speed wipe -
Raise the stalk to its
highest position.
Intermittent Wipe
Putting the wiper stalk in
intermittent mode allows
the driver to set the amount
of time between wipes.
Use the rotary control on the wiper stalk to adjust the
intermittent wipe intervals.
• Rotate the control upward
for short wipe intervals.
• Rotate the control downward
for long wipe intervals.
Speed Dependent
Wipers
When your vehicle speed
increases, the interval
between wipes will decrease.
Auto Wipers*
The wipers function when
moisture is detected on the
windshield, and will adjust
the speed of the wipers
automatically. Use the
rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the rain-sensor.
• Low sensitivity - the wipers
will automatically operate
when the sensor detects a
large amount of moisture
on the windshield.
• High sensitivity - The
wipers will automatically
operate when the sensor detects a small
amount of moisture
on the windshield.
Note: In order for the sensors
to operate properly, keep the
outside of the windshield
clean. Dirt, bugs and
excessive road debris can
cover the sensor and prevent
it from detecting rain.
To reduce smearing, we
recommend the following: • Lower the sensitivity of
the autowipers.
• Switch to normal or high
speed wipes.
• Switch the autowipers off.
Washing the
Windshield
To operate the windshield
washer, pull the wiper lever
toward you. • For a short spray, pull
and release.
• For a longer spray, pull
and hold the wiper lever
toward you. Release the lever once the windshield
is clear of dirt or debris.
A wipe will occur a few
seconds after washing
to clear any remaining
washer fluid.
Rear Window Wiper

on the end of the lever
to change between off,

once more to turn off.
Rear Window Washer
To use the rear window
washer, push the wiper lever
away from you. The washer
will spray for as long as you
push the lever away from
you. When you release the
lever, the wiper will continue
to operate for a short time.
