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.

(Washer Fluid): There is a paddle marked with the windshield washer symbol at the top of the multifunction lever. Push the paddle to spray washer fluid on the windshield. The wipers will clear the window and then either stop or return to the preset speed.

(Heated Washer Fluid): If your vehicle has the heated windshield washer fluid system, it is used to help clear ice, snow, tree sap, or bugs from your windshield. To activate Automatic mode for de-icing, press the heated washer button located above the headlamp switch on the left side of the dash. Pushing the heated washer fluid button 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 pushing the button again prior to the completion of 4 wash/wipe cycles. 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 .
