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

Move the lever to control the windshield wipers.

(Mist): Pull the lever down and release it for a single wiping cycle. The lever will return to its original position. Hold the lever down longer for more wipe cycles.

(Off): Turns off the wipers.

(Delay):  Sets a delay between wipes. Turn the delay adjustment band to set the length of the delay.

(Delay Adjustment): Use this band to set the length of the delay between wipes when using the delay feature. The closer the band is moved toward mist, the longer the delay. The windshield wiper lever must be in delay for this feature to work.

(Low Speed): For steady wiping at low speed.

(High Speed): For wiping a high speed.

If the windshield wipers are in use for about six seconds while you are driving, the exterior lamps will come on automatically if the exterior lamp control is in AUTO.

Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them.

If the wiper blades are frozen to the windshield, gently loosen or thaw them. If they become damaged, install new blades or blade inserts. For more information, 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.
