Windshield Washer To wash your windshield, push and hold the paddle with the windshield washer symbol. The washers and wipers will operate. When you release the paddle, the washers will stop, and the wipers will continue to operate for two cycles, unless your wipers had already been on. In that case, the wipers will resume the wiper speed you had selected earlier. Rear Window Washer/Wiper (If Equipped) The rear window switch is located in the center console switchbank. CAUTION: In freezing weather, don't use your washer until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your vision. Push the wiper symbol on the top of the switch to turn on the intermittent wiper. To turn off the wiper, gently push the bottom of the switch. To wash and wipe the rear window, push in the washer symbol on the bottom of the switch. Washer fluid will spray as long as the switch is held in. When the switch is released, the wiper will continue to cycle three more times. There is only one washer fluid reservoir for the front and rear windshield wipers. See "Windshield Washer Fluid" in the Index. To wash the rear window when the rear wiper is already on, push the bottom of the switch. Push in the top of the switch to continue the intermittent wiper cycle after the washing cycle is completed. 2-46
