2-38 Windshield Wipers
The lever on the right side of the steering column
controls the windshield wipers and washers.
You control the windshield wipers by moving the stalk
up or down.For steady wiping at low speed, move the stalk down
to LO. For higher speed wiping, move the stalk down
further to HI. To stop the wiper, move the stalk up
to OFF.
With variable delay, you can set the wiper speed for
a long or short interval between wipes. This can be
very useful.
Move the stalk to INT (Intermittent) then turn the
inner band and choose the delay you want. Turn the
inner band up for longer intervals between wiper cycles.
Turn the band down for shorter intervals.
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.
