INT (DELAY): Move the lever up to the INT position,
then turn the INT ADJ band, which is located on the
lever, to adjust the delay time. The higher you turn the
INT ADJ band, the more frequent the wipers
will operate.
OFF: Lower the lever to its resting position (OFF) to
turn off the wipers.
MIST: Pull the lever down once and release it for a
single wipe cycle. For more cycles, hold the lever down
in the MIST position longer.
To wash the windshield, press the button located at the
tip of the lever.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If they're frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If the blades do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A
circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. Clear
away snow or ice to prevent an overload.

Rainsense
Wipers (If Equipped)
The moisture sensor is mounted on the passenger's
interior side of the windshield behind the rearview
mirror and is used to automatically operate the wipers
by monitoring the amount of moisture that is on
the windshield.
The Rainsense system can be activated by moving the
wiper stalk up to the INT position and turning the INT
ADJ band to one of five sensitivity settings. The bottom
INT ADJ position is the lowest sensitivity setting. This
allows more water to collect on the windshield between
wipes. Turning the INT ADJ band to the other INT ADJ
settings increases the sensitivity of the system and the
frequency of wipes. A single wipe will occur each time
you turn the INT ADJ band to a higher sensitivity
setting. An initial wipe occurs when you turn the
ignition on as a reminder that Rainsense is active. The
windshield wipers also remain in a "high park" position,
even when the ignition is turned off.
The Rainsense wipers operate in a delay mode as well as
a continuous low or high speed depending on the
amount of moisture and the sensitivity setting. The
MIST and "wash" cycles operate as normal and are not
affected by the Rainsense function.
