Windshield Washer - Chevrolet 2006 Corvette Owner's Manual

9 (Off): Move the lever to this position to turn off the
windshield wipers.
8 (Mist): Move the lever all the way down to mist and
release for a single wiping cycle. The windshield
wipers will stop after one wipe. If you want more wipes,
hold the band on mist longer.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wipers. If this
occurs, a circuit breaker will stop the wipers until the
motor cools. So, be sure to clear any ice and snow from
the windshield wiper blades before using them. If the
wiper blades are frozen to the windshield, carefully
loosen them or warm the windshield before turning the
wipers on. If your blades do become worn or
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.

Windshield Washer

The lever on the right side of the steering column also
controls the windshield washer. There is a button at the
end of the lever. To spray washer fluid on the windshield,
press the button and hold it. The washer will spray until
you release the button. The wipers will continue to clear
the window for about six seconds after the button is
released and then stop or return to your preset speed.
CAUTION:
{
In freezing weather, do not use your washer
until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer fluid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
If the fluid in the windshield washer fluid reservoir is
low, the message CHECK WASHER FLUID will appear
on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. It will
take 15 seconds after the bottle is refilled for this
message to turn off. For information on the correct
washer fluid to use, see Windshield Washer Fluid on
page 5-41 and Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on
page 6-12.
