WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND
WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer controls are
located on the windshield wiper/washer lever
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 Wiper/Washer” in this
section.Windshield Wiper/Washer Lever
Windshield Wiper Operation

Rotate the end of the lever to one of the first
four detent positions for intermittent settings,
the fifth detent for low wiper operation and the
sixth detent for high wiper operation.
Windshield Wiper Operation
NOTE:
Do not operate the windshield wipers with
the blades lifted from the windshield. Windshield Washer Operation
Pull the lever rearward toward you and hold
for as long as spray is desired.
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.
CAUTION!

Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the PARK position. If the
windshield wiper switch is turned off, and the
blades cannot return to the PARK position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.

WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You
might not see other vehicles or other
obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm
the windshield with the defroster before
and during windshield washer use.
