    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

How to Activate the Headlamp Washers

that's weird! i thought all HTRAC models came with the headlamp washers!!
 
Nope. It is a cold weather package feature.

He is in Canada, all the cars here have a cold weather package including heated seats front and rear, heated steering wheel and so on. In fact all Genesis sold here are exclusively AWD. The washer system in Canada is exclusive to the Ultimate 5.0. Strange but then again Hyundai is strange in how they allocate standard build equipment on their cars.
 
Then he should have the washers. Here in the US you only got them, the heated rears and the heated wheel if you got the cold weather package as an add-on, even to the Ultimate.

not true. i have a BASE HTRAC genesis with no additional packages, and it has the headlamp washers and heated steering wheel and backseat.
 
How well do the headlamp washers work? I am in TX and we don't have a need for them here.

You have the cold weather package on the base model.

I believe all US AWD versions get the headlight washers feature.

No... saw several 2015 awd without them.

Those three items (heated rear seat, heated steering wheel and headlamp washers are listed as standard equipment on my car (reference attached image of my window sticker). my car was built in june 2014, so maybe later in the 2015 model run hyundai changed the standard features? that's the only explanation i can think of.

i even looked at G80 standard features and headlamp washers are standard on HTRAC models according to the brochure.

You must have been mistaken as all AWD models get heated rear seats, heated steering wheel and headlamp washers in the US. You refer to a "cold weather package" however I never heard of this. Can you show me where this exists in any spec?

Those things are always wrong (the spec paper, even the 1 online), on Canadian website and the spec paper it says the luxury 3.8L gets HUD.
