Windshield Wiper/Washer

The windshield wiper/washer lever
is located on the right side of the
steering column. With the ignition in
ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN,
move the windshield wiper lever to
select the wiper speed.
HI: Use for fast wipes.
LO: Use for slow wipes.
INT: (Intermittent Wipes): Move
the lever up to INT for intermittent
wipes, then turn the
up for more frequent wipes or down
for less frequent wipes.

(Mist): For a single wipe,
briefly move the wiper lever down.
For several wipes, hold the wiper
lever down.
FRONT (Windshield
Washer): Pull the windshield wiper
lever toward you to spray windshield
washer fluid and activate the wipers.
The wipers will continue until the
lever is released or the maximum
wash time is reached. When the
windshield wiper lever is released,
additional wipes may occur
depending on how long the
windshield washer had been
INT band
activated. See Washer Fluid on
page 10 18 for information on filling
the windshield washer fluid
reservoir.
In freezing weather, do not use
the washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the
windshield, blocking your vision.
Clear snow and ice from the wiper
blades and windshield before using
them. If frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
Damaged blades should be
replaced. See Wiper Blade
Replacement on page 10 24.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor.
