occasional usage of the wipers necessary.
Press the end of the multifunction lever inward (toward
the steering column) to the first detent and release for a
single wiping cycle. To use the Washer, push on the end
of the lever to the second detent and hold while spray is
desired. If the lever is pushed while on the intermittent
setting, the wipers will turn on and operate for several
wipe cycles after the lever is released, and then resume

Rotate the end of the lever to one of the first five detent
positions for intermittent wiper operation, the sixth de-

weather conditions make a single wiping cycle, with a
variable delay between cycles, desirable. At driving
speeds above 10 mph (16 km/h), the delay can be
regulated from a maximum of approximately 18 second
between cycles (first detent), to a cycle every one second
(fifth detent).
NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving less than 10 mph
(16 km/h), delay times will be doubled.
