Interval Wipers (If equipped)
[SC04240(ALL)08/91]
In addition to two speed wipers, your vehicle
may have wipers that you can set to operate at
varying intervals. For example, you can set the
interval so they wipe less often when it drizzles
and more often in heavier rain.

the windshield washer fluid is located in the
engine compartment. Visual inspection can

RWARNING
Do not put windshield washer fluid in the
container for the engine coolant.

[SV23100(ALL)01/95]
Use specially formulated windshield washer
fluid rather than plain water, because specially
formulated washer fluids contain additives that
dissolve road grime. For safety reasons, washer
fluids containing an appropriate antifreeze such
as methanol should be used in freezing weather
(temperatures below32ÊF [0ÊC]).State or local
regulations on Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOC's) may restrict use of the most common
antifreeze, methanol. Washer fluids containing
non-methanol antifreeze agents should be used
only if they provide cold weather protection
without damaging the vehicle's paint finish,
wiper blades, and windshield washer system.
