Information
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO mode
when Engine Start/Stop button is in the
ON position, the wiper will operate once to
perform a self-check of the system. Set the
wiper to the OFF position when the wiper
is not in use.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury from the
windshield wipers, when the engine
is running and the windshield wiper
switch is placed in the AUTO mode:
• Do not touch the upper end of the
windshield glass facing the rain
sensor.
• Do not wipe the upper end of the
windshield glass with a damp or wet

Windshield Washers
ODN8059209KODN8059209K
In the OFF position, pull the lever gently
toward you to spray washer fluid on the
windshield and to run the wipers 1-3
cycles. The spray and wiper operation
will continue until you release the lever. If
the washer does not work, you may need
to add washer fluid to the washer fluid
reservoir.
WARNING
When the outside temperature is below
freezing, ALWAYS warm the windshield
using the defroster to help prevent
the washer fluid from freezing on the
windshield and obscuring your vision
which could result in an accident and
serious injury or death.
NOTICE
• To prevent possible damage to the
washer pump, do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty.
• To prevent possible damage to the
wipers or windshield, do not operate
the wipers when the windshield is
dry.
• To prevent damage to the wiper
arms and other components, do
not attempt to move the wipers
manually.
• To prevent possible damage to the
wipers and washer system, use anti-
freezing washer fluids in the winter
season or cold weather.

WARNING
• Never rely solely on the rear camera
display when backing-up.
• Always look around your vehicle to
make sure there are no objects or
obstacles before moving the vehicle
in any direction to prevent a collision.
• Always pay close attention when the
vehicle is driven close to objects,
particularly pedestrians, and
especially children.
NOTICE
• Do not spray the camera or its
surrounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Shock applied from
high pressure water may cause the
device to not operate normally.
• Do not use any cleanser containing
acid or alkaline detergents when
cleaning the lens. Use only a mild
soap or neutral detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with water.
• Always keep the rear view camera
lens clean. If the lens is covered with
foreign material, it may adversely
affect camera performance and

the images of the four cameras on
the front, rear, left, and right are
synthesized, the SVM view and
parking guidelines may differ from
the actual vehicle location. So, check
all directions for safety.
• Always keep the camera lens clean.
If the lens is covered with foreign
material, it may adversely affect
camera performance and Surround
View Monitor may not operate
normally. However, do not use
chemical solvents such as strong
