Use this lever located on the right side of the steering wheel to operate the windshield wipers. The ignition must be turned to ON/RUN to operate the windshield wipers.

HI (High Speed): This position is for wiping at a high speed.

LO (Low Speed): This position is for steady wiping at a low speed.

INT (Intermittent): This position lets you choose a delayed wiping cycle. Turn the band on the windshield wiper lever toward FAST or SLOW for a shorter or longer delay between wipes. The wiper speed can only be adjusted when the lever is in the INT position.

OFF: This position turns off the windshield wipers.

Mist Function

Move the lever toward, but not completely in, the INT position for a single wiping cycle. Hold it there until the windshield wipers start; then let go. The windshield wipers stop after one wipe. If additional wiping cycles are needed, hold the lever toward INT longer.

Remember that damaged wiper blades can 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 the blades do become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.

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