Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and hold
while spray is desired. If the lever is pulled while in the
delay range, the wiper will operate for two wipe cycles
after the lever is released, and then resume the intermit-
tent interval previously selected.
NOTE: If vehicle is equipped with the optional Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the overhead
console, all warnings including “door”, “GATE”,
“GLASS”, and “LOWASH” will only be displayed in the
EVIC display (not in the instrument cluster). For addi-
tional information, refer to “Overhead Console — If
Equipped” in Section 3. (See page 135 for more informa-
tion.)
The vacuum fluorescent (VF) display located in the
odometer area displays the word “LOWASH” when the
washer solvent needs to be refilled. If the vehicle is not
moving, when a low washer fluid condition is detected, the VF display will show the word “LOWASH” and then
show the odometer/trip odometer mileage (each for 2
seconds). The display will continue to cycle.
If any other active warnings including “door”, “GATE”,
or “GLASS” are present, they will be shown in the VF
display and will continue to cycle. If the vehicle starts
moving, two single chimes will occur (one chime for each
complete display cycle). After this, the display will
continue to sequence. After fifteen “LOWASH” se-
quences, the VF display will no longer provide this
warning.
If the trip/reset button is pressed while the VF warnings
are being displayed, the VF display will revert back to
only displaying the odometer/trip odometer mileage.
Once the warning is removed from the display, it will not
return for the duration of the ignition cycle.
If the lever is pulled while in the OFF position, the wipers
will operate for several wipe cycles, then turn off.

If the swing gate flip-up window is open or the swing gate
is open, connection to the rear window wiper is interrupted
preventing activation of the rear wiper blade. When the
swing gate flip-up window or the swing gate is closed, the
rear wiper switch or the ignition switch needs to be turned
OFF, and then to ON to restart the rear wiper.
NOTE: The rear swing gate will lock while the rear
wiper is operating. The gate will stay locked until the
wiper is turned off and the gate is unlocked (by key,
lock switch, or key fob).
Adding Washer Fluid
The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the
rear window washer is shared. It is located in the front of
the engine compartment on the passenger side and
should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals. Fill
the reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not radia-
tor antifreeze) and operate the system for a few seconds
to flush out the residual water.
Rear Window Defroster
On the top of the climate control panel is a push
button for rear window defrosting. An amber
indicator in the push button will light when the defroster
is turned on. Push again to turn off the defroster prior to
an automatic time-out.

attention should also be given to hood latching compo-
nents to insure proper function. When performing other
underhood services, the hood latch, release mechanism
and safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a
year, preferably in the fall and spring. Apply a small
amount of a high quality lubricant such as Mopar Lock
Cylinder Lubricant directly into the lock cylinder.
Windshield Wiper Blades
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the
windshield periodically with a sponge or soft cloth and a
mild non-abrasive cleaner. This will remove accumula-
tions of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods
may cause deterioration of the wiper blades. Always use
washer fluid when using the wipers to remove salt or dirt
from a dry windshield. Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or ice from the windshield. Keep the blade
rubber out of contact with petroleum products such as
engine oil, gasoline, etc.
Windshield Washers
The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the
rear window washer is shared. It is located in the front of
the engine compartment on the passenger side and
