The windshield wiper/washer lever is located on the right side of the steering column.

Move the lever to one of the following positions:

(Mist):  Move the lever to mist, for a single wiping cycle and then release. The wipers stop after one wipe.

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

(Intermittent):  Move the lever to choose a delayed wiping cycle. For vehicles with the variable intermittent feature, the time between wipes can be adjusted. Turn the band for a longer or shorter delay interval.

(Low): Use for steady wiping at low speed.

(High): Use for steady wiping at high speed.

Clear snow and ice from the wiper blades before using them. If the blades are frozen to the windshield, loosen or thaw them. If they become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. See Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement .

Heavy snow or ice can overload the wipers. A circuit breaker stops them until the motor cools.
