Windshield Wiper Operation
CAUTION!
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.
NOTE:
Do not operate the windshield wipers with the
blades lifted from the windshield.
Windshield Washer Operation
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and
hold while spray is desired. If the lever is pulled
while in 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 pulled while the wipers are in the
off position, the wipers will operate for several
wipe cycles, then turn off.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the
switch is held for more than 20 to 30 seconds.
Once the lever is released the pump will resume
normal operation.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
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
Push the lever upward 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.
For information on wiper care and replacement,
see Ú page 331.
