Windshield Wipers - Chevrolet 2008 Equinox Owner's Manual

Windshield Wipers

Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If the wiper blades are frozen to the
windshield, gently loosen or thaw them. If the blades do
become damaged, install new blades or blade inserts.
See Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement on page 5-50.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A
circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools down.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
Use the lever on the right side of the steering column to
operate the windshield wipers.
