page 3-64.
Heated Windshield Washer
For vehicles with the heated windshield washer fluid
system, it can be used to help clear ice, snow, tree sap,
or bugs from the windshield. This feature only works
with the front wiper system.
The button is located to
the left of the steering
column below the
instrument panel
brightness control knob.
Press the heated washer fluid button to activate the
heated windshield washer fluid system. This activation
begins four heated wash/wipe cycles. The first heated
wash/wipe cycle can take up to 40 seconds to occur,
depending on outside temperature. After the first
wash/wipe cycle, it can take up to 20 seconds for
each of the remaining cycles. The system turns off
automatically after four wipe cycles or the button can be
pressed again to turn it off.
Under certain outside temperature conditions, steam
might flow out of the washer nozzles for a short period of
time before washer fluid is sprayed. This is a normal.

Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The rear wiper and rear wash button is located on the
instrument panel below the climate control system.
Z (Rear Wiper): Press to turn the rear wiper on and
off. The wiper speed cannot be changed.
Y (Wash): Press to spray washer fluid on the rear
window. The window wiper will also come on. Release
the button when enough fluid has been sprayed on
the window. The rear wiper will run a few more cycles
after it is released. If the rear wiper function was already
on, prior to pressing the wash button, it stays on until
the wiper button is pressed again.
The rear window washer uses the same fluid that is in
the windshield washer reservoir. See Windshield
Washer Fluid on page 5-33.
