A. Wiper speed control
• MIST – Single wipe
• OFF – Off
• INT / --- – Intermittent wipe
AUTO – Auto control wipe
(if equipped)
• LO– Low wiper speed
• HI – High wiper speed
B. Intermittent control wipe time

Windshield Wipers
Operates as follows when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
MIST: For a single wiping cycle, push
the lever upward and release. The
wipers will operate continuously if
the lever is held in this position.
OFF: Wiper is not in operation.
INT: Wiper operates intermittently at the same wiping intervals. To vary
the speed setting, move the speed
control lever. The top most setting
will run the wipers most frequently
(for more rain). The bottom setting
will run the wipers the least
frequently (for less rain).
AUTO : (if equipped) The rain sensor located
on the upper end of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and
controls the wiping cycle
for the proper interval. The
more it rains, the faster the
wiper operates. When the
rain stops, the wiper stops.
To vary the speed setting,
turn the speed control knob
(B).
LO: The wiper runs at a lower speed.
HI: The wiper runs at a higher speed.
Information
If there is heavy accumulation of snow
or ice on the windshield, defrost the
windshield for about 10 minutes, or until
the snow and/or ice is removed before
using the windshield wipers to ensure
proper operation.
If you do not remove the snow and/or ice
before using the wiper and washer, it may
damage the wiper and washer system.

Convenience Features

Information
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO mode when Engine Start/Stop button is in the
ON position, the wiper will operate once to perform a self-check of the system. Set the
wiper to the OFF position when the wiper is not in use.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury from the
windshield wipers, when the engine is running and the windshield wiper
switch is placed in the AUTO mode:
• Do not touch the upper end of the windshield glass facing the rain
sensor.
• Do not wipe the upper end of the windshield glass with a damp or wet
cloth.
• Do not put pressure on the windshield glass.

Windshield Washers
ODN8059209K
In the OFF position, pull the lever gently
toward you to spray washer fluid on the
windshield and to run the wipers 1-3
cycles. The spray and wiper operation
will continue until you release the lever. If
the washer does not work, you may need
to add washer fluid to the washer fluid
reservoir.
WARNING
When the outside temperature is below
freezing, ALWAYS warm the windshield
using the defroster to help prevent
the washer fluid from freezing on the
windshield and obscuring your vision
which could result in an accident and
serious injury or death.
NOTICE
• To prevent possible damage to the
washer pump, do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty.
• To prevent possible damage to the
wipers or windshield, do not operate
the wipers when the windshield is
dry.
• To prevent damage to the wiper
arms and other components, do
not attempt to move the wipers
manually.
• To prevent possible damage to the
wipers and washer system, use anti-
freezing washer fluids in the winter
season or cold weather.

Blade Inspection
Contamination of either the windshield
or the wiper blades with foreign matter
can reduce the effectiveness of the
windshield wiper functionality. Common
sources of contamination are insects,
tree sap, and hot wax treatments used
by some commercial car washes. If the
blades are not wiping properly, clean
both the window and the blades with a
clean cloth dampened with washer fluid.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the wiper blades,
arms or other components, do not: • Use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near them.
• Attempt to move the wipers
manually.
• Use non-specified wiper blades.
Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been known to make the windshield difficult to clean.
Blade Replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn or
cracked, and require replacement.
NOTICE
• In order to prevent damage to the hood and the wiper arms, the wiper
arms should only be lifted when in
the top wiping position.
• Always return the wiper arms to the
windshield before driving.
NOTICE
The use of a non-specified wiper blade
could result in wiper malfunction and
failure.
