The windshield wipers are controlled by the lever on the right of your steering column.

If your windshield wipers are on for more than six seconds while you are driving, the low-beam headlamps, instrument panel cluster backlighting and the taillamps will turn on. For more information see "Wiper-Activated Headlamps" under Exterior Lamps .

OFF: Lower the lever to its original position to turn the wipers OFF.

INT (Intermittent): Push the lever up to the INT position and turn the INT ADJ band to adjust the delay time. The further you turn the band, the shorter the delay between wiping cycles.

LO (Low Speed): Push the lever up to LO for steady wiping at a slow speed.

HI (High Speed): Push the lever up to HI for steady wiping at a high speed.

MIST: For a single wiping cycle, push the lever down to the MIST position and let go. The wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want more cycles, hold the lever down.

Heavy snow or ice can overload your wiper motor. A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.

Keep in mind that damaged wiper blades may prevent you from seeing well enough to drive safely. To avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If your blades do become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. See Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement .

Windshield Washer

At the end of the wiper lever, there is a button. To spray washer fluid on the windshield, push the button until you have enough fluid to clean the windshield. The wipers will clear the window and either stop or return to your preset speed.

Caution: In freezing weather, do not use your washer until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your vision.

A WASHER FLUID warning light will indicate if the fluid level in the windshield washer reservoir is low. See Low Washer Fluid Warning Light .
