When you pull in the stick to make the washer fluid squirt out and the windshield wipers wipe at the same time, mine just squirts out washer fluid but the wipers don't wipe automatically. Anyone else experience this problem? I'm gonna bring it up at my next scheduled maintenance, pretty sure it's still under warranty for this.

This seems to be a safety issue. Why wait till the next scheduled maintenance visit? I would try to arrange a visit ASAP.

Oh the wiper still works but it's not coordinated automatically with the washer fluid squirting out. So after the fluid squirts I press the lever down to wipe so it takes two steps instead of one.

My Tacoma works like that. Pulling the stalk back only sprays the fluid. You have to activate the wipers yourself. Stupid design.

I just tried this on my 2016 RDX ( also an Elite Chick Magnet).

I found that if I pull the stalk toward me for less than second, that liquid will quirt but the wipers will not activate. Pulling the stalk for more than 2 seconds will activate the wipers.

I think this will be useful to let me spray some liquid and give it some time to soak in and soften the grime (and bug guts) before wiping it off. This was impossible to do in my previous vehicles.

Hmmmm... I'll try that. Thanks!

clearly, you didnt read the manual...

rockyboy

I tried your suggestion and it works! I guess for me this is a new function discovered, the option to squirt washer fluid with or without wiping automatically. That's awesome! Thanks again!

rockyboy

I read the manual but I don't think this was in it.

Reading the hundreds of pages of the manual these days is right up there with reading "War and Peace"! What with all the new electronics such as AcuraWatch and trying to absorb it, it is easy to skip things like how to turn on wipers or headlights. Lets face it - it is easy to assume that if you have been driving for a few years now and don't know how to turn on wipers and headlight perhaps it is time for a retest or just handing in the keys.

idunno, i'm like any other man...i want to try it first...but if i still cant get the hang of it...which is most modern electronics, i go back and read the manual to understand what i'm doing wrong.
shit, I just bought a pair of bluetooth headphones which i fiddled for 30 mins before reaching for the manual
