GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 61
Intermittent Wipers
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.
NOTE:
The wiper delay times depend on vehicle speed. If
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 while spray is desired. 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
wipers will operate for two or three wipe cycles.
Then, the wipers will turn off.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the washer will stop if the
switch is held for more than 20 seconds. Once the
switch is released the washer will resume normal
operation.
Mist
Push upward on the wiper lever to activate a single
wipe to clear off-road mist or spray from a passing
vehicle. As long as the lever is held up, the wipers
will continue to operate.
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.
For information on wiper care and replacement,
see Ú page 368.
REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER — IF
E
QUIPPED
A rotary switch on the center portion of the
windshield wiper/washer lever controls the
operation of the rear wiper/washer function.
Rotate the switch upward to the first
detent position for intermittent operation
and to the second detent for continuous
rear wiper operation.
Push the wiper lever toward the
instrument panel to activate the rear
washer. The washer pump and wiper will
continue to operate as long as the lever is
held.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the washer will stop if the
switch is held for more than 20 seconds. Once the
switch is released the washer will resume normal
operation.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is
placed in the OFF position, the wiper will
automatically return to the “park” position. When
the vehicle is restarted, the wiper will resume
function at whichever position the switch is set at.
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.
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.
