Dodge Nitro: Rear window features
Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The rear wiper/washer is controlled by a rotary switch located on the control lever. The control lever is located on the right side of the steering column.
Rear Wiper/Washer Control
Rotate the switch upward to the
first detent position
for rear wiper operation.
NOTE: The rear wiper operates in an intermittent mode only.
Rotate the switch upward past the
first detent to
activate the rear washer. The washer pump will
continue to operate as long as the switch is held.
Upon release, the wipers will cycle two times before
returning to the set position.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is turned
OFF, the wiper will automatically return to the “park”
position. When the vehicle is restarted, the wiper will
resume function at whichever position the switch is set.
Rear Window Defroster
The rear window defroster button
is located on the
climate control (Mode) knob. Press this button to
turn on the rear window defroster and the heated outside
mirrors. An indicator in the button will illuminate when
the rear window defroster is on. The rear window
defroster automatically turns off after approximately
10 minutes. For an additional five minutes of operation,
press the button a second time.
NOTE: To prevent excessive battery drain, use the rear window defroster only when the engine is operating.
CAUTION:
Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to
the heating elements:
• Use care when washing the inside of the rear
window. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on
the interior surface of the window. Use a soft cloth
and a mild washing solution, wiping parallel to
the heating elements. Labels can be peeled off
after soaking with warm water.
• Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abrasive
window cleaners on the interior surface of the
window.
• Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.
