Heated washer nozzle (if equipped)

The heated washer nozzle function unfreezes the washer nozzles in freezing weather.

The heated washer nozzle will turn on and off automatically when the ENGINE START/STOP button is in ON position or when the engine is running in following conditions:

  • Turns ON when the outside temperature is below 41 °F (5 °C), and OFF when it is over 50 °F (10 °C).

  • The washer fluid unfreezing speed may be slower when the ENGINE START/STOP button is in ON position, than compared to when the engine is running.

  • When the ENGINE START/STOP button is in ON position, after approximately 20 minutes of operation, the system will turn off automatically to prevent possible battery discharge.

  • After the engine is running, the washer fluid will defrost approximately after 5 – 10 minutes.

  • If the engine has been started within the operating temperature, the heated nozzle remains ON even approximately after 20 minutes.

NOTICE

The heated washer nozzle may not function properly under following conditions:

  • The washer fluid in the washer reservoir is frozen.

  • Outside temperature sensor is malfunctioning.
