WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer control lever is
located on the right side of the steering column;
it operates the multiple wiper options. The front
wipers are operated by rotating a switch,
located at the end of the lever.
Windshield Wiper/Washer Lever
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever upward to the first
detent 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.
Front Wiper Control
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather
conditions make a single wiping cycle, with a
variable pause between cycles, desirable.
Rotate the end of the lever to the first detent
position for one of four intermittent settings.
The delay cycle can be set anywhere between 1
to 18 seconds.
Intermittent Wiper Control
NOTE:
The wiper delay times depend on vehicle speed.
I
f
the vehicle is moving less than 10 mph
(16
km/h), delay times will be doubled.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and
hold until desired spray is reached. If the lever
is pulled while in the delay range, the wiper will
start and continue to operate for two or three
wipe cycles after the lever is released. Then, the
intermittent interval previously selected will
resume.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the
wip
ers will operate for two or three wipe cycles.
Then, the wipers will turn off.
CAUTION!
In cold weather, always turn off the wiper
switch and allow the wipers to return to the
park position before turning off the engine. 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.
