Chevrolet 1997 Cavalier Owner's Manual page 94

For a single wiper cycle, press the stalk down until the
wipers start, then let go. The wipers will stop after one
cycle. For more cycles, hold the wiper stalk down longer.
For fixed delay wiper cycles, move the wiper switch to
DELAY for wiper cycles with a fixed time delay
between them.
For steady wiper cycles, move the wiper stalk up to
either 1 or 2, depending on
the wiper speed you want.
To turn wipers off, move the stalk down to OFF.
Remember that damaged wiper blades may prevent you
from seeing well enough to drive safely. To avoid damage,
be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before
using them. I f they're frozen to the windshield, carefully
loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become damaged,
get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. A circuit
breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away
snow or ice to prevent an overload.
Controlled Cycle Wipers (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has variable controlled-cycle windshield
wipers, you can set the wiper speed for a long or short
delay between wipes. This can be very useful in light
rain or snow.
Move the stalk to DELAY, then rotate the band to
choose the delay you want. Rotate the band up for
shorter delay times between wiper cycles. Rotate the
band down for longer delay times between wiper cycles.
