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 at the end of the lever.
Refer  to  “Rear  Window  Wiper/Washer”  in
this section  for further information on using
the rear window wiper/washer.Windshield Wiper/Washer Lever
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate  the  end  of  the  lever  upward  to  the
second detent  past  the intermittent settings
for  low-speed  wiper  operation.  Rotate  the end  of  the  lever  upward  to  the  third  detent
past the intermittent settings for high-speed
wiper operation.
NOTE:
Do  not  operate  the  windshield  wipers  with
the blades lifted from the windshield.
Intermittent Wiper System  
Use  the  intermittent  wiper  when  weather
conditions  make  a  single  wiping  cycle,  with
a  variable  pause  between  cycles,  desirable.
Rotate the end of the lever to the first detent
position for one of four intermittent settings.
The delay cycle can be set anywhere between
1 to 18 seconds.
NOTE:
The  wiper  delay  times  depend  on  vehicle
speed.  If  the  vehicle  is  moving  less  than
10 mph  (16 km/h),  delay  times  will  be
doubled.
Windshield Washers
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  two  or
three wipe cycles after the lever is released.
Then,  the  intermittent  interval  previously
selected will resume.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position,
the wipers will operate for two or three wipe
cycles. Then, the wipers will turn off.
 CAUTION!
In  cold  weather,  always  turn  off  the  wiper
switch  and  allow  the  wipers  to  return  to
the  park  position  before  turning  off  the
engine.  If  the  wiper  switch  is  left  on  and
the  wipers  freeze  to  the  windshield,
damage  to  the  wiper  motor  may  occur
when the vehicle is restarted.
 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.

checked promptly. Certain  conditions,  such  as  a  loose  or
missing gas cap, poor quality fuel, etc., may
illuminate  the  light  after  engine  start.  The
vehicle  should  be  serviced  if  the  light  stays
on  through  several  typical  driving  styles.  In
most  situations,  the  vehicle  will  drive
normally and will not require towing.
When  the  engine  is  running,  the  MIL  may
flash  to  alert  serious  conditions  that  could
lead  to  immediate  loss  of  power  or  severe
catalytic  converter  damage.  The  vehicle
should  be  serviced  by  an  authorized  dealer
as soon as possible if this occurs. WARNING!
A  malfunctioning  catalytic  converter,  as
referenced  above,  can  reach  higher
temperatures  than  in  normal  operating
conditions.  This  can  cause  a  fire  if  you
drive  slowly  or  park  over  flammable
substances  such  as  dry  plants,  wood,
cardboard,  etc.  This  could  result  in  death
or serious injury to the driver, occupants or
others.
