The lever on the right side of the steering column operates the windshield wipers and washer.

These functions operate when the ignition is turned to ON, LOCK, or when the Retained Accessory Power is in operation. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) .

INT (Intermittent): Push the lever up to turn on the wipers. Put the lever in the first position for intermittent wiping cycles. The delay will change as your vehicle's speed changes. The delay will decrease as you go faster and increase as you go slower.

1 (Low Speed): Put the lever in the second position for slow, steady wiping cycles.

2 (High Speed): Put the lever in the third position for rapid wiping cycles.

(Mist): Move the lever to this position for a single wiping cycle. Hold it there until the windshield wipers start; then let go. The windshield wipers will stop after one wipe. If you want more wipes, hold the lever down longer.

0 (Off): Turn the lever to this position to turn off the wipers.

Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If they're frozen to the windshield, gently loosen or thaw them. If the blades do become damaged, install new blades or blade inserts.

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