WIPERS AND WASHERS
The windshield wiper/washer lever is located on
the right side of the steering column. There are
five different modes of operation for the front
windshield wipers. The windshield wiper lever can
be raised or lowered to access the modes.
NOTE:The windshield wipers/washers will only operate
with the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

Windshield Wiper/Washer Lever

WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION
Rotate the windshield wiper knob to one of the first
two detent positions for intermittent settings, the
third detent for low wiper operation and the fourth
for high wiper operation.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the windshield wiper/
washer lever toward the steering wheel to activate.
The wipers will activate automatically for three
cycles after the lever is released, and then resume
the intermittent interval previously selected.

If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the wipers
will operate for three cycles and then turn off.

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.
For information on wiper care and replacement,
see Úpage 207.
RAIN SENSING WIPERS — IF EQUIPPED
This feature senses moisture on the windshield
and automatically activates the wipers. Rotate the
end of the multifunction lever to one of two detent
positions for intermittent settings to activate this
feature.
NOTE:If the windshield wiper lever is rotated from the
O (off) position to the first intermittent setting or
from the first intermittent setting to the second
intermittent setting, the wipers will perform an
immediate wipe cycle to clean the windshield.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with
the windshield wiper lever. Wiper delay position
one is the least sensitive, and wiper delay position
two is the most sensitive. Place the wiper switch in
the O (off) position when not using the system.
1 — Pull Back For Front Washer
2 — Rotate For Intermittent Settings
3 — Push Upward For MistWARNING!
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.
