1995 CHEVROLET BLAZER light

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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 wipe. If you want
more wipes, 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 worn or 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 worn
or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
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
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.

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
want 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:
r
Step lightly on
the brake pedal
or
push the clutch
pedal,
if you have
a manual
transmission.
Move the Cruise
switch to
OFF.
To Erase Speed Memory
