For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band to the
LOW position. For high-speed wiping, turn the
band further, to HIGH. To stop the wipers, move the
band 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. If they are 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. The
windshield wiper motor is protected from overload
by a
circuit breaker and a fuse.
If
the motor overheats due to
heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload,
overload due to heavy snow, etc. may cause wiper linkage
damage. Always clear ice and heavy snow from the
windshield before using your windshield wipers.
Windshield Washer
At the top
of
the lever, there's a paddle with the word
PUSH on it. To spray washer fluid on the windshield,
push the paddle.
Washer fluid will spray as long as you push the paddle.
When you let go of the paddle, the wipers will continue
to wipe for approximately two more wipe cycles and
then either stop or return to the preset speed.
In freezing weather, don't use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.
