For more cycles, hold the band in
this position.
For steady wiper cycles, rotate the
band upward to one of the two
highest positions, depending on
the wiper speed you want.
In light rain or snow, you can use
the delay feature. Turn the band to
one of the delay settings to choose
the desired delay time between
sweeps. The closer the setting is to
the top of the lever, the shorter the
delay.
The wipers are protected by a
circuit breaker and a fuse. If there
is an electrical overload, the wiper
system will stop until the motor
cools.
To turn off the wipers, rotate the
band to the "off" setting .
Wiper blades will eventually
wear out and not wipe properly,
reducing forward vision. Replace
worn wiper blades.
Rain Sensitive Wipers
A sensor is mounted on the
windshield near the rearview
mirror.
The sensor monitors the amount
of moisture on the windshield and
automatically operates the wipers
accordingly.
Section 1
The rain sensitive wiper system can
be activated by turning the wiper
band to one of the five sensitivity
levels indicated on the stalk. Turn
the band towards you for
minimum sensitivity and away
from you for maximum sensitivity.
The wipers will operate in a delay
mode as well as a continuous low
or high speed, depending on the
sensitivity level and amount of
moisture.
To override this feature and
operate the wipers manually,
move the stalk up to the low or
high speed position.
NOTICE
Turn the wipers off before
going through a car wash to
avoid damage.
