Windshield Wiper/Washer

The windshield wiper/washer lever is located on the left side of the steering column, where it can be reached without taking your hand far from the steering wheel.

Turn the band marked with the wiper symbol to select the desired windshield wiper setting for the current driving conditions.

(Mist): Use this setting for a single wiping cycle, such as when light moisture, road spray, or a small amount of mist appears on the windshield.

(Off): Use this position to turn the windshield wipers off.

► (Adjustable Interval Wipes):

This setting delays the wiping cycle. Turn the band upward for more frequent wipes or downward for less frequent wipes, depending on the amount of rain, mist, or road spray on the windshield.

► Use the slow wipe setting for steady light rain or moderate moisture on the glass.
2: Use the fast wipe setting for heavier rain or conditions that require quicker clearing of the windshield.

Before using the wipers on the Buick Enclave, clear ice, packed snow, or heavy frost from the windshield and wiper blades. If the blades are frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them before turning the wipers on. Damaged or worn wiper blades should be replaced. See Wiper Blade Replacement.

Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. If this happens, a circuit breaker stops wiper operation until the motor cools. Remove the buildup before attempting to use the wipers again.

Windshield Washer

(Washer Fluid): Press the button at the end of the turn signal/lane change lever to spray washer fluid onto the windshield.

The wipers will clear the windshield and then either stop or return to the previously selected wiper speed. The ignition key must be in ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN for the washer system to operate. See Washer Fluid.

WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use the washer until the windshield is warm. Otherwise, washer fluid can freeze on the glass and block your view of the road.

When the washer fluid level is low, the Driver Information Center (DIC) displays WASHER FLUID LOW ADD FLUID. Add the correct washer fluid as soon as possible. See Washer Fluid Messages.
