Wipers

The Wiper controls on the Left Cockpit Panel are used to control the wipers.

CAUTION: Do not activate the wipers if they are frozen to the windshield because this can damage the wiper blades and the wiper motor.
CAUTION: Do not activate the wipers on a dry windshield because this can damage or cause unnecessary wear to the wiper blades.
Note: Intervals between wipes reduce as the vehicle’s speed increases.

Front Wipers

Refer to the following control wiper icons in the Left Cockpit Panel:



 Off




In AUTO, the vehicles rain sensor detects whether or not it is raining and will activates the wipers, as required. The sensitivity of the wiper activation is selected by the LO or HI icons.


LOW Speed Continuous Wipe


HIGH Speed Continuous Wipe


DE-ICE: Activate the wiper de-ice feature when there is ice/snow build-up on the windshield to assist in quick ice removal. This feature can only be activated when the vehicle is in Park and sufficient washer fluid is in the washer reservoir.

When you tap open the menu on the Left Cockpit Panel, if the current wiper settings are Off, it automatically switches to Open.

You can change the wiper settings by using the left stalk button to cycle between the different wiper settings. The first detent will trigger a single wipe, and the wiper menu appears for you to change any settings from the Left Cockpit Panel. On the second detent, before the timeout, it cycles through the programs, while allowing your hand to remain on the steering wheel without having to touch the screen.

You can also press-and-hold the left stalk button for 1.5 seconds to operate the wipers. This will immediately switch the wiper program to High.

Rear Wiper

Refer to the control wiper icons in the Left Cockpit Panel for corresponding rear wipers to operate in the following modes:

  • Off
  • Intermittent
  • Continuous
Note: The rear wipers will start wiping when the vehicle is shifted to Reverse gear if the front wipers are wiping.

Service Wipers

Wipers can be moved to the service position for access to the wiper blade for replacement using Service Wipers. To activate Service Wipers, the vehicle needs to be parked. This feature can be accessed from Settings > Vehicle > Maintenance.

CAUTION: Attempting to turn off Service Wipers when the wiper is at the service position, and without the wiper blade touching the windshield, may result in damage to the hood of the car and the wiper mechanism.

Washers

Warning: Operating the washers in cold weather can cause the fluid to freeze on the windshield, potentially obscuring your vision and causing a collision. Use the windshield heater to warm the windshield to reduce the possibility of the fluid freezing.


The left steering column stalk button is used for wiper controls.

To get a single dry wipe, press the button to the first detent once.

Press and hold at the first detent for High Speed Continuous mode. On release, it will continue to stay at the same mode until manually changed.

Note: The wiper speed and sensitivity will change to the next faster wiper speed if the stalk button is pressed at the first detent while the wipers are operating.

To spray the washer fluid, press the button to the second detent or press and hold at the second detent for multiple wash-wipe cycles.

The wipers will operate with washer. Release the button to stop the washer. The wipers will make several extra sweeps after the button is released.

The warning indicator will display on the Clearview Cockpit if the fluid level in the washer reservoir is low.

CAUTION: Do not operate the washers when the fluid reservoir is empty or frozen. This can cause the washer pump to overheat and fail.
