WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
WINDSHIELD WIPERS
The wipers and washers are operated by a
switch in the multifunction lever, and can only
be operated with the ignition in the ACC or ON/
RUN position. Turn the end of the lever to select
the desired wiper speed.

Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch

Rotate the end of the lever upward, to the first
detent past the intermittent settings for
low-speed wiper operation. Rotate the end of the lever upward to the second detent past the
intermittent settings for high-speed wiper
operation.
Intermittent Wiper System
The intermittent feature of this system was
designed for use when weather conditions
make a single wiping cycle, with a variable
pause between cycles, desirable. For maximum
delay between cycles, rotate the control knob
upward to the first detent.
The delay interval decreases as you rotate the
knob until it enters the low continual speed
position. The delay can be regulated from a
maximum of about 18 seconds between cycles,
to a cycle every one second. The delay intervals
will double in duration when the vehicle speed
is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.
Windshield Washers
To use the windshield washer, push the washer
knob, located on the end of the multifunction
lever, inward to the second detent. Washer fluid
will be sprayed and the wiper will operate for
two to three cycles after the washer knob is
released from this position.
If the washer knob is depressed while in the
delay range, the wiper will operate for several
seconds after the washer knob is released. It
will then resume the intermittent interval
previously selected. If the washer knob is
pushed while in the off position, the wiper will
turn on and cycle approximately three times
after the wash knob is released.
To prevent freeze-up of your windshield washer
system in cold weather, select a solution or
mixture that meets or exceeds the temperature
range of your climate. This rating information
can be found on most washer fluid containers.
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.
