Windshield Wipers

United States Uplevel Shown, Base Level and
Canada Similar
The windshield wipers are controlled by the lever
located on the right side of the steering column.
The windshield wipers have these positions:
OFF (U.S.) or 9 (Canada): Turn the knob at the end
of the windshield wiper lever to turn off the wipers.
INT (U.S.) or --- (Intermittent) (Canada): If equipped,
turn the band to the intermittent setting to delay the
wiper speed. This can be very useful in light rain
or snow. When you turn the knob to this setting, you
can also set the wiper speed. See the following text for
more information.
INT TIME (U.S.) or &
If equipped, turn this band on the windshield wiper
lever to set the delay time between wipes. The closer
the band is turned to F (U.S.), the shorter the delay will
be. The closer the band is turned to S (U.S.), the
longer the delay will be.
LO (U.S.) or I (Low) (Canada): Turn the band to this
setting to operate the windshield wipers at a low speed.
HI (U.S.) or II (High) (Canada): Turn the band to this
setting to operate the windshield wipers at a high speed.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them. If they are frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do
become worn or damaged, get new blades or blade
inserts. For more information, see Windshield Wiper
Blade Replacement on page 5-56.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. The
windshield wiper motor is protected from overload by a
circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats
due to heavy snow or ice, the wiper will stop until the
motor cools. Although the circuit is protected from
electrical overload, overload due to heavy snow or ice
may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and
heavy snow from the windshield before using your
windshield wipers.
