WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND
WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer control
lever is located on the right side of the
steering column. The front wipers are
operated by rotating a switch, located
on the end of the lever. For information on the
rear wiper/washer, refer to “Rear Window Fea-
tures” in “Understanding The Features Of Your
Vehicle”.
CAUTION!
•Turn the windshield wipers off when driv-
ing through an automatic car wash. Dam-
age to the windshield wipers may result if
the wiper control is left in any position
other than off.
•In cold weather, always turn off the wiper
switch and allow the wipers to return to the
“Park” position before turning off the en-
gine. If the wiper switch is left on and the
wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to
the wiper motor may occur when the ve-
hicle is restarted.
•Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the off position. If the wind-
shield wiper control is turned off and the
blades cannot return to the off position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.
Windshield Wiper OperationRotate the end of the lever upward to the
second detent past the intermittent settings forlow-speed wiper operation. Rotate the end of
the lever upward to the third detent past the
intermittent settings for high-speed wiper opera-
tion.
Intermittent Wiper SystemUse the intermittent wiper when weather condi-
tions make a single wiping cycle, with a variable
pause between cycles, desirable. Select the
delay interval by turning the end of the lever.
Rotate the end of the lever upward (clockwise)
to decrease the delay time and downward
(counterclockwise) to increase the delay time.
