Windshield washers
Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry windshield. This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper motor to burn out.
Always use the windshield washer before wiping a dry windshield.
Note: Do not operate the washer when the washer reservoir is empty.
This may cause the washer pump to overheat.

Press the end of the stalk to activate the washer.
• A brief press causes the wipers to swipe three times with washer fluid.
• A long press and hold will activate the wipers and washer fluid for up to 10 seconds.
A wipe will occur a few seconds after washing to clear any remaining washer fluid. This feature can be turned on and off in the information display.
