Windshield Wi
You control the windshield
wipers by turning the band
with the wiper symbol on it.
For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold
it there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will
stop after one cycle. If you want more cycles, hold the
band on MIST longer.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or
snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The
closer to LOW, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band to
the LOW position. For high-speed wiping, turn the
band further,
to
HIGH. To stop the wipers, move the
band to OFF.
Remember that damaged wiper blades may prevent
you from seeing well enough
to
drive safely. To
avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from the
wiper blades before using them. I f they are frozen to
the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If
your blades do become damaged, get new blades or
blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. The
windshield wiper motor is protected from overload
by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats
due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the
motor cools. Although the circuit is protected from
electrical overload, overload due to heavy snow, etc.
may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice
and heavy snow from the windshield before using your
windshield wipers.
