The windshield wipers and washers can be used when the vehicle is on.
Front Wipers
Move the wiper lever up or down to the desired

Headlight-Wiper Integration*When the headlights are in the AUTO position,
they automatically turn on when the front

ambient light.
Rear WiperRotate the end of the wiper lever to the desired

When you shift to Reverse (R) and the front
wipers are activated, the rear wiper activates
even if the switch is off.
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get
scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged.
In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the windshield, becoming stuck.
Operating the wipers in this condition may damage the wipers. Use the
defroster to warm the windshield, or manually clear the windshield of ic\
