band away from you to the
“LO’ position.
For high speed wiping,

to “HI.” To stop the wipers, move
the band to

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 turn signal lever there’s a
paddle
with the word “PUSH’ on it. To
spray washer fluid on the windshield, just
push the paddle for less than a second.
The washer will continue to spray
until
you release the paddle. The wipers will
clear the window and stop or return to the
previous setting. If you hold the paddle
for more than a second, the washer will
spray until you release the paddle.
