You can set the wiper speed 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.
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.
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 they’re frozen to the windshield, carefully
loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers.
A
circuit
breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away
snow or ice
to
prevent an overload.
