The windshield wipers are controlled by the lever on the

MIST: For a single wiping cycle, push the lever down to
the MIST position and let go. The wipers will stop after
one cycle. If you want more cycles, hold the lever down.
LO or HI: Push the lever up to LO for steady wiping at
a slow speed. Push the lever up to HI for steady wiping
at a high speed.
INT: Push the lever up to the INT position and turn the
INT ADJ band to adjust the delay time. The further you
turn the band, the shorter the delay between wiping cycles.
OFF: Lower the lever to its original position to turn the
wipers OFF.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wiper motor. A
circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. Clear
away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
Keep in mind 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 your blades do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
