54 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Intermittent Wipers
Use one of the four intermittent wiper settings
when weather conditions permit. At driving
speeds above 10 mph (16 km/h), the delay can
be regulated from a maximum of approximately
18 seconds between cycles (first detent), to a
cycle every one second (fourth detent). If the
vehicle is moving less than 10 mph (16 km/h),
delay times will be doubled.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, push on the end of the lever
(toward the steering wheel) and hold. If the
lever is pushed while in the intermittent setting,
the wipers will turn on and operate for several
cycles after the end of the lever is released, and
then resume the intermittent interval previously
selected.
Windshield Washer Operation
If the end of the lever is pushed while the wipers
are in the off position, the wipers will operate for
several cycles, then 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
Rotate the end of the lever downward 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.
For information on wiper care and replacement,
see Ú page 342.
RAIN SENSING WIPERS — IF EQUIPPED
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the
windshield and automatically activates the
wipers. Rotate the end of the multifunction
lever to one of four detent positions to activate
this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted
with the multifunction lever. Wiper delay
position one is the least sensitive, and wiper
delay detent position four is the most sensitive.
Wiper delay position three should be used for
normal rain conditions.
CAUTION!
Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the “park” position. If the
windshield wiper switch is turned off, and the
blades cannot return to the “park” position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.
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.
