Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper/washer lever
is located on the right side of
the steering column.
The ignition must be turned to the
ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY
position to use the windshield wipers.
Move the lever to the following
positions:
z (Mist): Hold the lever in this
position for continuous wiping cycles.
( (Off): Turns the wipers off.
& (Intermittent): For a delayed
wiping cycle. Turn the
& band
forward or rearward for more
frequent or less frequent wipes.
The frequency of wipes also
depends on the vehicle speed.
As the vehicle speed increases,
so does the wiper rate.
1 (Low): For steady wiping at
low speed.
2 (High): For steady wiping at
high speed.
Never use the wipers on dry glass,
as this could damage the wiper
blade inserts and scratch the glass.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from
the wiper blades before using them.
If the blades are frozen to the
windshield, carefully loosen or thaw
them. If they become damaged, get
new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wipers. A circuit breaker stops them
until the motor cools. Clear away
snow or ice to prevent an overload.
Windshield Washer
Pull the lever toward you to spray
washer fluid on the windshield.
The spray continues until the lever
is released. The wipers will run
a few times. See Windshield Washer
Fluid on page 9-23 for information
on filling the windshield washer fluid
reservoir.
{ CAUTION
In freezing weather, do not use
your washer until the windshield
is warmed. Otherwise the
washer fluid can form ice on the
windshield, blocking your vision.
