Use this lever located on the right side of the steering wheel to operate the windshield wipers.

OFF: Move the lever to OFF to turn off the windshield wipers.

INT (Intermittent): Move the lever to INT to choose a delayed wiping cycle. Turn the INT ADJ (Intermittent Adjust) band down for a longer delay or up for a shorter delay. The wiper speed can only be adjusted when the lever is in the INT position.

LO (Low Speed): Move the lever up to the first setting past INT, for steady wiping at low speed.

HI (High Speed): Move the lever up to the second setting past INT, for wiping at high speed.

MIST: Move the lever all the way down to MIST 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 band on mist longer.

Remember 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 they are frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.

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.

Windshield Washer

To wash your windshield, push in the button at the end of the lever until the washers begin.

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.

When you release the button, the washers will stop, but the wipers will continue to wipe for about three cycles and will either stop or will resume the speed you were using before.
