GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 65
WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHERS
Windshield Wiper Operation
The wipers and washers are operated by a
switch within the wiper lever. Rotate the switch
at the end of the lever upward, to the first detent
past the intermittent settings for low-speed
wiper operation. Rotate the switch at the end of
the lever upward to the second detent past the
intermittent settings for high-speed wiper oper-
ation. To turn the windshield wipers off, rotate
the switch within the lever all the way down
to OFF.
Washer And Wiper Controls
NOTE:
Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the off position. If the windshield
wiper switch is turned off and the blades cannot
return to the off position, damage to the wiper
motor may occur.
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather condi-
tions 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.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the lever rearward
toward you and hold while spray is desired. 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 previ-
ously selected. If the lever is pulled while the
wipers are in the off position, the wipers will
operate several wipe cycles, then turn off.
Mist Feature
Use the Mist feature when weather conditions
make occasional usage of the wipers neces-
sary. 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.
