For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold it there until the
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 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.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers.
The windshield wiper motor is
protected from overload by a circuit breaker and a
fuse. If the motor
overheats due to
heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
Although
the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to
heavy snow, etc. may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and
heavy snow from
the windshield before using your windshield wipers.
Windshield Washer
0-
At the top of the lever
there's
a paddle with
the word
PUSH on it.
To spray washer fluid
on the windshield,
push the paddle.
Washer fluid will spray as long
as you push the paddle. When you let go of
the paddle, the wipers will continue to wipe for a few seconds and then
either stop or return
to the 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.

Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your Cruise Control will work on hills depends upon your speed,
load, and the steepness of the hills. When going up steep hills, you may
have to step on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear to keep your speed
down. Of course, applying the brake takes you out
of Cruise Control. Many
drivers find this to be too much trouble and don't use Cruise Control on
steep hills.
To Get Out of Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the Cruise Control:
0 Step lightly on
the brake pedal or
push the clutch
pedal, if you have
a manual
transmission
OR;
0 move the Cruise switch to
OFF.
To Erase 5peed Memory
When you turn off the Cruise Control or the ignition, your Cruise Control
set speed memory
is erased.
