Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions
make a single wiping cycle with a variable pause be-
tween cycles. Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to
the first detent position. There are four possible delay
intervals that depend on the vehicle speed.
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever upward, to the first detent past
the intermittent settings for low-speed wiper operation.

past the intermittent settings for high-speed wiper opera-
tion.
Mist
Use the mist feature when weather conditions make
occasional usage of the wipers necessary. Push the lever
upward to the mist position and release for a single
wiping cycle.NOTE:The mist feature does not activate the washer
pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on the
windshield. The wash function must be used in order to
spray the windshield with washer fluid.

To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and hold
while spray is desired. If the lever is pulled while in the
delay range, the wiper will start and continue to operate
for three wipe cycles after the lever is released, and then
resume the intermittent interval previously selected.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the wipers
will operate for three wipe cycles and then turn off.
