In cold weather, the indicator light normally
goes out at higher engine speeds.
• If the "GENERATOR" light illuminates
while the engine is running, have the
cause of insufficient charging corrected
as soon as possible.

Windshield Wipers and
Washers
The windshield wiper and washer control
(located above light switch at left side of in¬
strument panel) operates the washer and con¬
cealed wiper system electrically. Fig. 2-8.
Control illumination is provided when instru¬
ment panel lights are on.
Operation
• Remove ice or packed snow from wiper
blade concealment recess at rear of hood
before operating wipers. Carefully loosen
or thaw wipers that are frozen to
windshield or lower molding.
• For continuous operation, move control
lever up to "LO", "MED", or "HI" speed
position.
• For a single wiping cycle, move lever
right to "MIST" position, hold until wip¬
ers begin wiping . . . then release.
• Press "WASH" button and release to ac¬
tivate "LO" wiper speed and to direct a
quantity of washer fluid to the
windshield. Move wiper lever to "OFF"
after wash cycle is completed.
Controlled Cycle Wiper System
If equipped with this feature, the wipers may
be operated continuously at any of three nor¬
mal speeds, or at low speed with a variable
hesitation between each wipe.
For Controlled Cycle operation, move the
control lever fully down and to the right. The
hesitation time varies with lever position, with
a maximum delay of approximately 20 sec¬
onds at the "MAX" position.
Use the Controlled Cycle feature when rain,
snow, and spray do not wet the windshield
sufficiently to warrant continuous wiper oper¬
ation.
FIG. 2-8: WIPER-WASHER CONTROL
As an additional feature, the Controlled
Cycle system automatically parks the wiper
blades after using the windshield washer if the
wiper control is in "OFF" position.
Operating Tips
• Check washer fluid level regularly — do
it frequently when the weather is bad.
• Use a fluid such as GM OPTIKLEEN to
prevent freezing damage, and to provide
better cleaning.
• Do not use radiator anti-freeze in
windshield washer; it could cause paint
damage.
