Windshield Washer - Chevrolet 2009 Equinox Owner's Manual

9 (Off): Turns off the windshield wipers.
8 (Mist): Move the lever all the way down to mist
and release for a single wiping cycle. The windshield
wipers stop after one wipe and the lever returns to
its starting position. Hold the lever on mist longer for
more wipes.
Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using
them. If they 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 5-49.
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.

CAUTION:

In freezing weather, do not use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your
vision.
There is a button marked with the windshield washer
symbol at the end of the windshield wiper lever. Press
this button to spray washer fluid on the windshield.
The wipers will run for a few cycles to clear the window
and then either stop or return to your preset speed.
For more wash cycles, press and hold the button longer.
