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

Push up or pull down on the lever to place it in one of the following positions.

(Mist): For a single wiping cycle. The lever returns to its starting position when released. For more cycles, hold the lever down before releasing it.

(Off): Turns the wipers off.

(Intermittent):  Sets a delay between wipes. To set for a shorter or longer delay between wipes, move the switch on top of the lever left or right to decrease or increase wiper movement.

(Low): For slow, steady wiping cycles.

(High): For rapid wiping cycles.

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. 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.
