Dimmer Control (Vehicles Sold In Canada)
With the parking lights or headlights on, rotating the
dimmer control upward will increase the brightness of
the instrument panel lights. Rotating the dimmer con-
trol will also adjust the interior and ambient light levels
(e.g. courtesy lights in the footwell, illuminated cuphold-
ers, and front door handles).
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer control lever is located on
the right side of the steering column. The front wipers
are operated by rotating a switch, located at the end of
the lever.
WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION
Windshield Wiper/Washer Operation
1 — Pull For Front Washer
2 — Rotate For Rear Wiper Operation (If Equipped)
3 — Rotate For Front Wiper Operation
4 — Push Forward For Rear Washer
5 — Push Up For Mist
Rotate the end of the lever upward to the first detent
past the intermittent settings for low-speed wiper
operation. Rotate the end of the lever upward to the
second detent past the intermittent settings for high-
speed wiper operation.
CAUTION!
In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and
allow the wipers to return to the park position before
turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left on and
the wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the
wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is restarted.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Intermittent Wipers
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions
make a single wiping cycle, with a variable pause
between cycles, desirable. Rotate the end of the lever
to the first detent position for one of four intermittent
settings. The delay cycle can be set anywhere between
1 to 18 seconds.
NOTE:
The wiper delay times depend on vehicle speed. If the
vehicle is moving less than 10 mph (16 km/h), delay
times will be doubled.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and hold
while spray is desired. If the lever is pulled while in the
delay range, the wiper will start and continue to operate
for two or three wipe cycles after the lever is released.
Then, the intermittent interval previously selected will
resume.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the wipers
will operate for two or three wipe cycles. Then, the wip-
ers will turn off.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the washer will stop if the
switch is held for more than 20 seconds. Once the
switch is released the washer will resume normal
operation.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could
lead to a collision. You might not see other vehicles or
other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the windshield
during freezing weather, warm the windshield with the
defroster before and during windshield washer use.
