INT (Intermittent): This position lets you choose a
delayed wiping cycle. Turn the band on the windshield
wiper lever toward FAST or SLOW for a shorter or
longer delay between wipes. The wiper speed can only
be adjusted when the lever is in the INT position.
OFF: This position turns off the windshield wipers.
Mist Function
Move the lever toward, but not completely in, the INT
position for a single wiping cycle. Hold it there until the
windshield wipers start; then let go. The windshield
wipers stop after one wipe. If additional wiping cycles
are needed, hold the lever toward INT longer.
Remember that damaged wiper blades can 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 the blades do become damaged, get
new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor.
A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.

Windshield Washer

To wash the windshield, pull the windshield
wiper/washer lever toward you while the ignition is
turned to ON/RUN.
CAUTION:
{
In freezing weather, do not use your washer
until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer fluid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
When the lever is released, the washers stop, but the
wipers continue to wipe for about two or three cycles
and either stop or resume at the previous speed.
