64 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
operation. To turn the windshield wipers off,
rotate the switch within the lever all the way
down to OFF.
Windshield Wiper Operation
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather
conditions make a single wiping cycle with a
variable pause between cycles desirable.
Rotate the switch at the end of the wiper lever
to the first detent position, and then turn the
switch at the end of the lever to select the
desired delay interval. There are four delay
settings, which allow you to regulate the wipe
interval from a minimum of one cycle every
second to a maximum of approximately 36
seconds between cycles. The delay intervals will
double in duration when the vehicle speed is
10 mph (16 km/h) or less.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving less than 10 mph
(16 km/h), delay times will be doubled.
Windshield Washer Operation
To use the washer, pull the lever rearward
toward you and hold. If the lever is pulled while
on the intermittent setting, the wipers will turn
on and operate for several wipe cycles after the
lever is released, and then resume the
intermittent interval previously selected. If the
lever is pulled while the wipers are in the off
position, the wipers will operate several cycles,
then turn off.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the pump will stop if
the switch is held for more than 20 seconds.
Once the switch is released the pump will
resume normal operation.
If the front window washer feature is acti-
vated, all of the front cameras (if equipped)
on the vehicle will be washed as well.
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 wind-
shield 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.
