Windshield washer
Pull the control toward you to activate the windshield washer.
Release the control to stop washer fluid spray. The wipers will operate
for a short time after the washer is turned off.
Courtesy wipe feature
One extra wipe will happen a few seconds after washing the front
window to clear any water that is dripping down from the top of the
windshield caused by the washing.
Note: Do not operate the washer when the washer reservoir is empty.
This may cause the washer pump to overheat. Check the washer fluid
level frequently. Do not operate the wipers when the windshield is dry.
This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades and cause the wiper
motor to burn out. Before operating the wiper on a dry windshield,
always use the windshield washer. In freezing weather, be sure the wiper
blades are not frozen to the windshield before operating the wipers.
