on side convex mirrors could cause you to
collide with another vehicle or other object.

operate at low speed.
High Speed Rotate the end of the lever upward to
the third detent. The wipers will
operate at high speed.

wipers will activate automatically for three
cycles after the lever is released.
Manual High Speed/Mist
Push the lever upward from the off position. The
wipers will operate at high speed to clear off
road mist or spray from a passing vehicle. This
operation will continue until the lever is
released. When the lever is released, the wipers
will return to the off position and automatically
shut off.
CAUTION!
Turn the windshield wipers off when driving
through an automatic car wash. Damage 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 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.
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.
