WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND
WASHERS
Windshield Wipers
The wipers and washers are operated by a
switch in the multifunction lever. Turn the
end of the lever to select the desired wiper
speed.
Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch
Rotate the end of the lever upward, to the
f
irst dete
nt 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.
Intermittent Wiper System
The intermittent feature of this system was
designed for use when weather conditions
make a single wiping cycle, with a variable
pause between cycles, desirable. For
maximum delay between cycles, rotate the
control knob upward to the first detent.
The delay interval decreases as you rotate
the knob u
ntil it enters the low continual
speed position. The delay can be regulated
from a maximum of about 18 seconds
between cycles, to a cycle every one second.
The delay intervals will double in duration
when the vehicle speed is 10
mph (16 km/h)
or less.
Windshield Washers
To use the windshield washer, push the
washer knob, located on the end of the multi-
function lever, inward and hold. Washer fluid
w
ill be sp
rayed and the wiper will operate for
two to three cycles after the washer knob is
released.
If the washer knob is depressed while in the
delay rang
e, the wiper will operate for several
seconds after the washer knob is released. It
will then resume the intermittent interval
previously selected. If the washer knob is
pushed while in the off position, the wiper
will turn on and cycle approximately three
times after the wash knob is released.
To prevent freeze-up of your windshield
washer sys
tem in cold weather, select a solu-
tion or mixture that meets or exceeds the
t
emperatur
e range of your climate. This
rating information can be found on most
washer fluid containers.
Mist Feature
When a single wipe to clear off road mist or
spray from a passing vehicle is needed, push
the washer knob, located on the end of the
multifunction lever, inward briefly and
release. The wipers will cycle one time and
automatically shut off.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You
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.
