CAUTION!
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.
• 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 when weather condi-
tions make a single wiping cycle with a variable
pause between cycles desirable. Rotate the end
of the multifunction lever to the first detent
position, and then turn the end of the lever to
select the desired delay interval. There are four
delay settings, which allow you to regulate the
wipe interval from a minimum of one cycle every
second to a maximum of approximately 36 sec-
onds between cycles. The delay intervals will
double in duration when the vehicle speed is
10 mph (16 km/h) or less.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer , push the multifunction lever
inward (toward the steering column) and hold it
for as long as washer spray is desired.
If you activate the washer while the windshield
wiper control is in the delay range, the wipers
will operate for two wipe cycles after releasing
the lever and then resume the intermittent in-
terval previously selected.
If you activate the washer while the windshield
wiper is turned off, the wipers will operate for
three wipe cycles and then turn off.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the wind-
shield could lead to a collision. Y ou 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.
Mist Feature
Rotate the end of the lever downward to the
MIST position to activate a single wipe cycle to
clear off road mist or spray from a passing
vehicle. The wipers will continue to operate
until you release the multifunction lever.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer
pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed
on the windshield. The wash function must be
used in order to spray the windshield with
washer fluid.
Rain Sensing Wipers — If Equipped
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the
windshield and automatically activates the wip-
ers for the driver . The feature is especially useful
for road splash or overspray from the windshield
washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate the end of
the multifunction lever to one of four settings to
activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted
with the multifunction lever. Wiper delay posi-
tion 1 is the least sensitive, and wiper delay
position 4 is the most sensitive. Setting
3 should be used for normal rain conditions.
