WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
The front and rear wipers and washers are oper-
ated by a switch in the right side control lever. Turn
the end of the control lever to select "Lo," "Hi," or
one of the five speed sensitive intermittent wind-
shield wiper speeds. Refer to "Speed Sensitive
Intermittent Wiper System" in this section. For
information on the rear wiper and washer refer to
"Rear Window Features" in Section 4 of this
manual.
NOTE:
Always remove any build-up of snow that pre-
vents the windshield wiper blades from return-
ing to the OFF position. If the windshield wiper
switch is turned off and the blades cannot
return to the OFF position, damage to the wiper
motor may occur.
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and
hold while spray is desired. If the lever is pulled
while in the delay range, the wiper will operate for
several seconds after the lever is released, and
then resume the intermittent interval previously
selected.
If the lever is pulled while in the OFF position, the
wipers will operate for several wipe cycles, then
turn off.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield
could lead to an accident. You might not see
other vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sud-
den icing of the windshield during freezing
weather, warm the windshield with the defroster
before and during windshield washer use.
Mist
Use this feature when weather conditions make
occasional usage of the wipers necessary. Pull
down and release the control lever for a single
wiping cycle.
Speed Sensitive Intermittent Wiper
System
Use one of the five intermittent wiper speeds when
weather conditions make a single wiping cycle,
with a variable pause between cycles, desirable.
Turn the end of the lever to one of the five delay
positions for the desired delay interval. The delay
can be regulated from a maximum of approxi-
mately 18 seconds between cycles, to a cycle
every 1/2 second.
NOTE:
The wiper delay times depend on vehicle
speed. If the vehicle is moving less than 16
km/h (10 mph), delay times will be doubled.
Rain Sensitive Wiper System — If
Equipped
The rain sensitive wiper system provides you with
the convenience of automatically detecting mois-
ture on your windshield and turning on the wipers
at the appropriate speed. The Rain Sensor is
located above the rear view mirror and reacts to
any moisture present in the area of the sensor.
