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 washers before wiping a dry windshield.

Note: Do not operate the washers when the washer reservoir is empty.This may cause the washer pump to overheat.

A brief press causes a single wipe without washer fluid.
A brief press and hold causes the wipers to swipe three times with washer fluid.
A long press and hold turns on the wipers and washer fluid for up to 10 seconds.

A wipe occurs a few seconds after washing to clear any remaining washer fluid. You can switch this feature on or off in the information display.

Front Camera Washer (If Equipped)

Operating the windshield washer also operates the front camera washer.
