For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away
from you to the
LO
position. For high-speed wiping,
turn the band further, to
HI. 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'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 wiper motor. A
circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. Clear
away snow Or ice to prevent an overload.
Windshield Washer
At the top of the turn signal/multifunction lever, there's
a paddle with the word
PUSH
on it. To spray washer
fluid on the windshield, push the paddle.
If you push the paddle for less than one second, washer
fluid will spray three to four times while the wiper
blades cycle. If you push the paddle longer than one
second, washer fluid will spray as long as the paddle is
held. When you release the paddle, the wiper blades will
cycle three to four more times to clear the window and
then either stop or return to your preset speed.
Driving without washer fluid can be dangerous.
A
bad
mud splash can block your vision. You could hit another
vehicle or go off the road. Check your washer fluid level
often. See "Windshield Washer Fluid" in the Index.
AUTION:
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.
