Windshield Wiper And Washers

The wipers and washers are operated by a switch within the multifunction lever. Rotate the
end of the multifunction lever to select the desired wiper speed.
NOTE:
Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the off position. If the windshield wiper switch is turned off and the blades
cannot return to the off position, damage to the wiper motor may occur.
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.

Intermittent Wiper System

Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions make a single wiping cycle with a
variable pause between cycles desirable. Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to the
first detent position, and then turn the end of the lever to select the desired delay interval.
There are five delay settings, which allow you to regulate the wipe interval from a
minimum of one cycle every second to a maximum of approximately 36 seconds between
cycles. The delay intervals will double in duration when the vehicle speed is 10 mph
(16 km/h) or less.

Windshield Wiper Operation

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.

Windshield Washers

To use the Washer, push on the end of the lever to the second detent and hold while spray
is desired. If the lever is pushed while on the intermittent setting, the wipers will turn on
and operate for several wipe cycles after the lever is released, and then resume the
intermittent interval previously selected. If the lever is pushed while the wipers are in the
off position, the wipers will operate several wipe cycles, then turn off.
Mist Feature
Push the end of the multifunction lever inward (toward the steering column) to the first
detent and release for a single wiping cycle.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be
sprayed on the windshield. The wash function must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.
