Windshield Wipers - Pontiac 1998 Sunfire Owner's Manual

Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield wipers by moving the stalk
with the windshield wiper symbol on it up or down.
For a single wiper cycle, push the stalk down to MIST,
then release it. The wipers will stop after one cycle. For
more cycles, hold the wiper stalk down longer.
For steady wiping at low speed, move the stalk up to
(1). For high-speed wiping, move the stalk up further to
(2). To stop the wiper, move the stalk to OFF.
If your vehicle is equipped with variable delay, you can
set the wiper speed for a long or short interval between
wipes. This can be very useful.
Move the stalk to DELAY, then rotate the inner band
and choose the delay you want. Rotate the inner band up
for shorter intervals between wiper cycles. Rotate the
band down for a longer interval between wiper cycles.
If your vehicle is equipped with fixed delay, you can use
this function by moving the stalk to DELAY.
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. If they're 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. A circuit
breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away
snow or ice to prevent an overload.
