Heated washer nozzle: (if equipped)

The heated washer nozzle function helps thaw the washer nozzles in freezing weather.

The system operates automatically when the vehicle is in ON position or when the engine is running under the following conditions:

  • When the outside temperature is below 41 °F (5 °C). The system turns off when the temperature rises above 50 °F (10 °C).

  • Thawing may take longer if the vehicle is in ON position with the engine off.

  • When the vehicle is in ON position, the system will turn off automatically after approximately 20 minutes to prevent possible 12V battery discharge.

  • When the vehicle is running, washer fluid will typically defrost after approximately 5-10 minutes.

  • If the vehicle is started while the outside temperature is within the operating range, the heated washer nozzle remains on even after approximately 20 minutes.

NOTE

The heated washer nozzle may not function properly when:

  • Washer fluid in the reservoir is frozen.

  • The outside temperature sensor is malfunctioning.
