9(Off):Move the lever to this position to turn off
the windshield wipers.
&(Intermittent; Speed Sensitive
Wipers):Move the lever to this position for
intermittent or speed sensitive operation. When
you select this position, the delay will vary
depending on the vehicles speed, as well as, the
manually selected delay.
x(Delay):When the lever is in the intermittent
position, turn the intermittent adjust band with
this symbol on it up or down to set for a shorter or
longer delay between wipes. To the left of the
adjust band are bars, increasing in size from
bottom to top, that indicate the frequency of the
wipes. Smaller bars mean the wipers movement is
less frequent. Larger bars mean the movement
is more frequent.
6(Low Speed):Move the lever up to the
rst setting past intermittent, for steady wiping at
low speed.
1(High Speed):Move the lever up to the
second setting past intermittent, for wiping at high
speed.
8(Mist):Move the lever all the way down to
this position for a single wiping cycle. Hold it there
until the windshield wipers start; then let go.
The windshield wipers will stop after one wiping
cycle. If you want additional wiping cycles, hold the
lever down longer.
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 the wiper blades are frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades
do become damaged, get new blades.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wiper motor.
A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it
cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an
overload. If the motor gets stuck, turn the wipers
off, clear away the snow or ice, and then turn
the wipers back on.
As an added safety feature, if the wipers are on
for more than 15 seconds, the vehicle’s headlamps
will turn on automatically. They will turn off
15 seconds after the wipers are turned off.
