Heated Windshield Washer
For vehicles with the heated
windshield washer fluid system,
it helps to 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 normal.
