The windshield wiper lever is located on the right side of the steering wheel.
Move the lever to one of the following positions:
(High Speed): For steady wiping at high speed.
(Low Speed): For steady wiping at low speed.
(Delay): Use to set a delay between wipes.
(Delay/Intermittent Speed Sensitive): When the lever is in the delay position, move the intermittent adjust band to
set for shorter or longer delay cycles. To the left of the adjust band are bars that
indicate the frequency of the wipes. Smaller bars mean the wiper movement is less
frequent. Larger bars mean the wiper movement is more frequent.
During
intermittent wiping mode, the delay cycle time is sensitive to vehicle speed. As the
vehicle speed increases the delay cycle time will decrease and wiper movement occurs
more frequently.
(Off): Turns off the windshield wipers.
(Mist): Move the lever to mist, for a single wiping cycle
and then release it. The windshield wipers will stop after one wipe and the lever
returns to its original position. Hold the band on mist longer for continuous wipes.
As an added safety feature, if the wipers are on for more than 15 seconds, the
vehicle's headlamps will turn on automatically. They will turn off 15 seconds after
the wipers are turned off.
Clear snow and ice from the wiper blades before using them. If the blades are
frozen to the windshield, gently loosen or thaw them. If they become damaged, install
new blades or blade inserts. See
Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement
.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A circuit breaker will stop
the motor until it cools down.
The windshield wiper lever is located on the right side of the steering wheel.
Move the lever to control the windshield wipers.
(Off): Turns off the windshield wipers.
(Intermittent; Speed Sensitive Wipers): For intermittent
or speed sensitive operation. The amount of delay time varies between wiping cycles
due to the delay setting selected or the speed of the vehicle. As vehicle speed is
increased or decreased, the wiper interval also increases or decreases.
(Delay): While the lever is in the intermittent
position, turn the intermittent adjust band with this symbol on it up or down to select
a shorter or longer delay between wiping cycles. To the left of the adjust band are
bars, increasing in size from bottom to top, that indicate the frequency of the wipes.
Smaller bars mean the wipers movement is less frequent. Larger bars mean the movement
is more frequent.
(Low Speed): For steady wiping at low speed.
(High Speed): For wiping at a high speed.
(Mist): Move the lever all the way down for a single
wiping cycle. Hold it there until the windshield wipers start; then release. The wipers
stop after one wiping cycle. Hold the lever down longer, for more wipe cycles.
Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them.
If the wiper blades are frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them.
If they become damaged, install new blades.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A circuit breaker stops the
motor until it cools. If the motor gets stuck, turn the wipers off, clear
away the snow or ice, and then turn the wipers back on.
As an added safety feature, if the wipers are on for more than 15 seconds, the
vehicle's headlamps turn on automatically. They turn off 15 seconds after the wipers
are turned off.
