GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 31
WIPERS AND WASHERS
FRONT WIPER OPERATION
The windshield wiper/washer lever is located on
the right side of the steering column. There are
five different modes of operation for the front
windshield wipers. The windshield wiper lever
can be raised or lowered to access the modes.
NOTE:
The windshield wipers/washers will only
operate with the ignition in the MAR
(ACC/ON/RUN) position.
Windshield Wiper/Washer Lever
Intermittent Wiper System
Push the lever downward to the first detent and
rotate the center ring to use one of the four
intermittent wiper settings when weather
conditions make a single wiping cycle, with a
variable delay between cycles, desirable.
Low Speed
Push the lever downward to the second detent.
The wipers will operate at low speed.
High Speed
Push the lever downward to the third detent.
The wipers will operate at high speed.
Windshield Washer Operation
To use the washer, pull the windshield wiper/
washer lever toward the steering wheel to
activate. The wipers will activate automatically
for three cycles after the lever is released, and
then resume the intermittent interval previously
selected.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the
wipers will operate for three cycles and then
turn off.
Mist Feature
Use the Mist feature when weather conditions
make occasional usage of the wipers
necessary. Push the lever upward to the MIST
position and release for a single wiping cycle.
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.
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.
