WIPERS AND WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer control lever is
located on the left side of the steering column.
Multifunction Lever
The front wipers are operated by rotating a
switch, located at the end of the lever. For
information on using the rear window wiper/
washer, refer to "Rear Window Wiper/Washer" in
this section.
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever upward, to the first
detent past the intermittent settings for low-speed
wiper operation. Rotate the end of the lever upward
to the second detent past the intermittent settings
for high-speed wiper operation.
NOTE:
The wipers will automatically return to the
"park" position if you turn OFF the ignition
while they are operating. The wipers will resume
operation when you turn the ignition back ON.
CAUTION!
• Turn the windshield wipers off when driv-
ing through an automatic car wash. Dam-
age to the windshield wipers may result if
the wiper control is left in any position
other than off.
• In cold weather, always turn off the wiper
switch and allow the wipers to return to the
park position before turning off the engine.
If the wiper switch is left on and the wipers
freeze to the windshield, damage to the
wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is
restarted.
CAUTION!
• Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the off position. If the wind-
shield wiper control is turned off and the
blades cannot return to the off position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper system when
weather conditions make a single wiping cycle,
with a variable pause between cycles, desirable.
Rotate the end of the windshield wiper/washer
control lever to one of the first five detents to
select the desired delay interval.
There are five delay settings, which allow you to
regulate the wipe interval from a minimum of
one cycle every two seconds to a maximum of
approximately 36 seconds between cycles at
vehicle speeds below 10 mph (16 km/h). At
speeds greater than 10 mph (16 km/h), the
delay varies from a minimum of one cycle every
second to a maximum of approximately 18 sec-
onds between cycles.
