operated by rotating a switch, located on the end of

PERATION
Rotate the end of the lever to one of the first two
detent positions for intermittent settings. The first
intermittent wiper interval is 10 seconds. The
second intermittent wipe interval is based on
vehicle speed. Rotate to the third detent for low
wiper operation and the fourth detent for high
wiper operation.

Windshield Wiper Operation

1 — Push Lever Forward & Hold For Rear Washer
2 — Rotate For Rear Wiper Operation
3 — Rotate For Front Wiper Operation
4 — Pull Lever & Hold For Front Washer Operation
5 — Push Lever Upward For Mist
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.
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.
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.
