Washer on
To turn the wipers on, move the lever. To make the washer
squirt, push the button on the end of the lever.
The ignition key must be in the “ON” position.
For mist wiper operation (a single wipe), pull the lever toward
you and release it.
The wipers will operate at intervals when the lever is in the
“INT” position. With the lever in this position, the wipers can be
adjusted to operate at intervals of 2 to 11 seconds depending
on the interval adjuster setting between “S” and “F”Also, the wipers will automatically operate a couple of times
after the washer squirts even with the lever in the “OFF”
position.
If the washer does not work, check to see whether the washer
tank is empty. For information on adding washer fluid, see
“Adding washer fluid” on page 202.
In cold weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before
using the washer. This will help prevent icing, which could
block your vision.
NOTICE:
Do not operate the wipers if the windshield is dry. It may
scratch the glass.
Shifting the windshield wiper position
The wiper blades retract under the hood when the wipers are
turned off. If retraction is obstructed by snow, etc, at the bottom
of the windshield, the wipers should be shifted from the
retracted position to the rest position above the hood level.
When the snow season is over, manually return the wipers to
the retracted position following the procedure given on the next
page.
