The wiper speed may
be
set
for
a
long
or
short
delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or
snow. Turn the band to choose the delay
time.
The
closer to
LO,
the shorter the delay.
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.
Keep in mind 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
your blades do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Windshield Washer
The windshield wipers are controlled by turning the
band marked
WIPER.
For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold
it
there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers
will
stop after one cycle. If you want more cycles, hold the
band on MIST longer.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away
from you to the
LO
position. For high-speed wiping,
turn the band further, to
HI.
To stop the wipers, move
the band to
OFF.
At the top
of
the turn signal/multifunction lever there’s a
paddle with the word
PUSH
on it.
To
spray washer fluid
on the windshield, push the paddle for less than a
second. The wipers
will
clear the window and either
stop or return to your preset speed. For more washer
cycles, push and hold the paddle. Remember, driving
without washer fluid can be dangerous. A bad mud
splash can block your vision. You could hit another
vehicle or go off the road. Check your washer fluid level
often. See “Windshield Washer Fluid” in the index.
