Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control that may lead to an accident, severe personal injury and death . The driver’s primary responsibility is in the safe and legal operation of a vehicle, and handheld devices, other equipment or vehicle systems which take the driver’s eyes, attention and focus away from the safe operation of a vehicle or that are not permissible by law should never be used during operation of the vehicle .

Lifting Wipers (Wiper Service Mode)
To lift the windshield wipers to clean windshield, inspect or replace wiper blades or raise wipers in snow/ice conditions without damaging the hood, the blades need to be moved to the service position B .
With the ignition ON, turn the ignition OFF, and within 20 seconds move the wiper switch to the MIST position C and hold the switch for more than two seconds until the wiper blade is in the fully up position .
To return wipers to normal position, turn the ignition ON, then activate MIST .See section 4 in the Owner’s Manual for more information .
