(Windshield Washer): To spray washer fluid on the windshield, press the windshield washer paddle. The wipers will clear the window and then either stop or return to your preset speed.

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.

Rear Window Washer/Wiper


Object Number: 807758  Size: A2

This control is located to the right of the steering wheel on the instrument panel.

To turn the rear wiper on, turn the control to either 1, 2, or 3. For delayed wiping, turn the control to 1 or 2. For steady wiping, turn the control to 3. To turn the wiper off, turn the control to 0.

To wash the rear window, press the washer symbol located in the center of the control.

The rear window washer/wiper can only be activated if the tailgate window is fully closed. The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display a TAILGATE GLASS DOWN message to indicate that the rear washer/wiper has been disabled because the window is not fully closed. See DIC Warnings and Messages .

The rear window washer uses the same fluid bottle as the windshield washer. However, the rear window washer will run out of fluid before the windshield washer. If you can wash your windshield but not your rear window, check the fluid level.
