Windshield Washer {CAUTION: In freezing weather, do not use your washer until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your vision. J Washer Fluid: Press and release this paddle, located at the top of the turn signal/multifunction lever, to spray washer fluid on the windshield. The wipers will clear the windshield and either stop or return to your preset speed. For more washer cycles, press and hold the paddle. _ Heated Washer Fluid: If your vehicle is equipped, the heated windshield washer fluid system may be used to help clear ice, snow, tree sap, or bugs from your windshield. Sliding the switch on the signal/multifunction lever to this position and then releasing it will activate the heated windshield washer fluid system. This activation will initiate four heated wash/wipe cycles. The first heated wash/wipe cycle may take up to 40 seconds to occur, depending on outside temperature. After the first wash/wipe cycle, it may take up to 20 seconds for each of the remaining cycles. The heated windshield washer fluid system may be turned off at any time by sliding the switch on the signal/multifunction lever to this position again. When the heated windshield washer fluid system is activated under certain outside temperature conditions, steam may flow out of the washer nozzles for a short period of time before washer fluid is sprayed. This is a normal condition. A message will be displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC) when the washer fluid is low. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-76. 3-15
