WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Note:Fully defrost the windshield beforeyou switch the windshield wipers on.
Note:Make sure you switch the windshieldwipers off before entering a car wash.
Note:Clean the windshield and wiperblades if they begin to leave streaks orsmears. If that does not resolve the issue,install new wiper blades. See Changingthe Wiper Blades (page 255).
Note:Do not operate the wipers on a drywindshield. This may scratch the glass,damage the wiper blades or cause the wipermotor to burn out. Always use thewindshield washers before wiping a drywindshield.
Rotate the end of the control:
•Away from you to increase the wiperspeed.
•Toward you to decrease the wiperspeed.
Speed Dependent Wipers
When your vehicle speed increases, theinterval between wipes decreases.
AUTOWIPERS (If Equipped)
Note:Fully defrost the windshield beforeswitching on the windshield wipers.
Note:Make sure you switch off thewindshield wipers before entering a carwash.
Note:Clean the windshield and wiperblades if they begin to leave streaks orsmears. If that does not resolve the issue,install new wiper blades. See Changingthe Wiper Blades (page 255).
Wet or winter driving conditions with ice,snow or salty road mist can causeinconsistent and unexpected wiping orsmearing. In these conditions, you can dothe following to help keep your windshieldclear:
•Lower the sensitivity of the autowipersto reduce the amount of smearing.
•Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.
•Switch the autowipers off.
The autowipers feature uses a rain sensor,located in the area around the interiormirror. The rain sensor monitors theamount of moisture on the windshield andautomatically turns on the wipers. Itadjusts the wiper speed by the amount ofmoisture that the sensor detects on thewindshield.
Note:This autowiper feature isautomatically set to on and remains on untilyou switch it off in the information display.You can also switch the feature back on atany time. See General Information (page92).
Use the rotary control to adjust thesensitivity of the rain sensor. Set thecontrol to low sensitivity, and the wiperswill turn on when the rain sensor detectsa large amount of moisture on thewindshield. Set the control to highsensitivity, and the wipers will turn on whenthe rain sensor detects a small amount ofmoisture on the windshield.
Note:When you set the wiper system tointermittent wipe and the autowiper systemis on, the autowiper sensitivity settingadjusts the wiper speed according to themoisture on the windshield only. Use thewiper lever to wipe the windshieldon-demand.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Condensation in Lamp Assemblies
Exterior lamps have vents toaccommodate normal changes in airpressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-productof this design. When moist air enters thelamp assembly through the vents, there isa possibility that condensation can occurwhen the temperature is cold. Whennormal condensation occurs, a fine mistcan form on the interior of the lens. Thefine mist eventually clears and exitsthrough the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hoursunder dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,drip marks or large droplets).
•A fine mist covers less than 50% of thelens.
Examples of unacceptable condensationare:
•A water puddle inside the lamp.
•Streaks, drip marks or large dropletspresent on the interior of the lens.
If you see any unacceptable condensation,have your vehicle checked by an authorizeddealer.

Switch the ignition on. The fuel gaugeindicates approximately how much fuelremains in the fuel tank. The arrowadjacent to the fuel pump symbolindicates on which side of your vehicle thefuel filler door is located.
The needle should move toward F whenyou refuel your vehicle. If the needle pointsto E after adding fuel, this indicates yourvehicle needs service soon.
After refueling, the needle may not alwaysreturn to the exact same position. This isnormal.
Note:It may take a short time for theneedle to reach F after leaving the gasstation. This is normal and depends uponthe slope of pavement at the gas station.
Note:The fuel amount dispensed into thetank is a little less or more than the gaugeindicated. This is normal and depends uponthe slope of pavement at the gas station.
Note:If the gas station nozzle shuts offbefore the tank is full, try a different gaspump nozzle.
Note:There is a small reserve left in thetank when the fuel gauge reaches empty.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low reminder displays when the distanceto empty reaches 50 miles (80 km) toempty.
Note:The low fuel reminder can appear atdifferent fuel gauge positions depending onfuel economy conditions. This variation isnormal.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Shows the temperature of the enginecoolant. At normal operating temperature,the needle remains in the center section.If the needle enters the red section, theengine is overheating. Stop the engine,switch the ignition off and determine thecause once the engine has cooled down.
Note:Do not restart the engine until youconclude the cause of overheating.
