Front windshield washers
2C_WasherSwitch
In the OFF position, pull the lever gently toward you to spray washer fluid on the windshield and to run the wipers 1-3 cycles. The spray and wiper operation continues until you release the lever. If the washer does not work, you may need to add washer fluid to the washer fluid reservoir.
When washer fluid is used, in order to reduce any objectionable scent of the washer fluid from entering the cabin, recirculation mode and air conditioning are automatically activated depending on the outside temperature. If you select fresh mode while the function is operating, the function resumes after a certain amount of time. It may not work in some conditions such as cold weather or vehicle OFF.

For more information, refer to the "Climate Control Additional Features" section in chapter 5 of the complete Owner’s Manual.
When the outside temperature is below freezing, always warm the windshield using the defroster to prevent the washer fluid from freezing on the windshield and obscuring your vision that could lead to a collision resulting in serious injury or death.
Always use appropriate washer fluids in the winter season or cold weather.
To prevent damage:
-
Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir is empty or when the windshield is dry.
-
Do not operate the wipers when the windshield is dry.
-
Do not attempt to move the wipers manually.
-
Use anti-freezing washer fluids in the winter season or cold weather.
