wipers start, then let go. The wipers will stop after one cycle. If
you want
more cycles, hold the band on
MIST longer.
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 the off symbol.
Remember 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 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.
Windshield Washer
At the top of the multifunction lever there's a paddle marked with the
windshield washer symbol and
PUSH. To spray washer fluid on the
windshield, push the paddle.
The wipers will clear the window and then either stop or return to your
preset speed.
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.

then, have it fixed
so it will be ready to warn you if there’s a problem.
If the light comes on while you are driving, pull off the road and stop
carefully. You may notice that the pedal is harder to push.
Or, the pedal may
go closer to the floor. It may take longer to stop. If the light is still
on, have
the vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.)
The brake system warning light will also come on when
YOU set your
parking brake, and it will stay on
if your parking brake doesn’t release fully.
If it stays on after your parking brake is fully released, it means YOU have a

service. If the regular brake system warning light isn’t
on, you still have
brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system
warning light is also on,
you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a
problem with your regular brakes. See “Brake System Warning Light”
earlier in this part.

see this light flash for a few seconds when you turn your ignition
to
RUN or START. Then the light should go out, which means the system is
ready.
Remember, if the air bag readiness light doesn’t come
on when you start
your vehicle, or stays
on, or comes on when you are driving, your air bag
system may not work properly. Have your vehicle serviced right \
away.
Indicator Lights
Indicator lights go on when you use your turn signals, change from low
beam headlights to high beams, or when
you use your hazard flashers. The
next few pages will also tell you about the indicator lights on your vehicle
and help
you locate them.
