OFF: Lower the lever to its original position to turn the
wipers OFF.
INT (Intermittent): Push the lever up to the INT
position and turn the INT ADJ band to adjust the delay
time. The further you turn the band, the shorter the delay
between wiping cycles.
LO (Low Speed): Push the lever up to LO for steady
wiping at a slow speed.
HI (High Speed): Push the lever up to HI for steady
wiping at a high speed.
MIST: For a single wiping cycle, push the lever down
to the MIST position and let go. The wipers will stop
after one cycle. If you want more cycles, hold the
lever down.
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. See “Wiper
Blade Replacement” in the Index.
Windshield Washer
At the end of the wiper lever, there’s a button. To spray
washer fluid on the windshield, push the button until
you have enough fluid to clean the windshield. The
wipers will clear the window and either stop or return to
your preset speed.
CAUTION:
In freezing weather, don’t use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.
A WASHER FLUID warning light will indicate if the
fluid level in the windshield washer reservoir is low. See
“Low Washer Fluid Warning Light” in the Index.
