Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever to one of the first four detent positions for intermittent settings,
the fifth detent for low wiper operation and the sixth detent for high wiper operation.
Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the "park" position. If the windshield wiper switch is turned off, and the
blades cannot return to the "park" position, damage to the wiper motor may occur.
Intermittent Wiper System
Use one of the four intermittent wiper settings when weather conditions make a single
wiping cycle, with a variable delay between cycles, desirable. At driving speeds above
10 mph (16 km/h), the delay can be regulated from a maximum of approximately 18
seconds between cycles (first detent), to a cycle every one second (fourth detent).
NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving less than 10 mph (16 km/h), delay times will be doubled.
Windshield Washer Operation
To use the washer, push on the end of the lever (toward the steering wheel) and hold while
spray is desired. If the lever is pushed while in the intermittent setting, the wipers will turn
on and operate for several wipe cycles after the end of the lever is released, and then
resume the intermittent interval previously selected.
If the end of the lever is pushed while the wipers are in the off position, the wipers will
operate for several wipe cycles, then turn off.
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.
Mist
Use the Mist feature when weather conditions make occasional usage of the wipers
necessary. Rotate the end of the lever downward to the Mist position 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.
