5-4 Instruments and Controls
3 (Adjustable Interval Wipes):
Move the lever to
3, then turn the
band up for more frequent wipes or
down for less frequent wipes.
9 (Off): Use to turn the windshield
wipers off.
3 (Mist): Briefly move the wiper
lever down for a single wipe or hold
down for several wipes.
Clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If they
are frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
Damaged wiper blades should be
replaced. See Wiper Blade
Replacement on page 10‑33.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wipers. A circuit breaker stops them
until the motor cools.
Wipe Parking
If the ignition is turned to LOCK/
OFF while the wipers are on 1, 2,
or
3, they will immediately stop.
If the windshield wiper lever is then
moved to
9 before the driver door
is opened, or within 10 minutes,
the wipers will restart and move to
the base of the windshield.
If the ignition is turned to
LOCK/OFF during a windshield
wash, the wipers will stop when
they reach the base of the
windshield.
Windshield Washer
Pull the windshield wiper lever
toward you to spray windshield
washer fluid and activate the wipers.
The washer and wipers will continue
until the lever is released or the
maximum wash time is reached.
When the windshield wiper lever is
released, additional wipes may
occur depending on how long the
windshield washer had been
activated. See Washer Fluid on
page 10‑27 for information on
filling the windshield washer fluid
reservoir.

WARNING
In freezing weather, do not use
the washer until the windshield
is warmed. Otherwise the
washer fluid can form ice on the
windshield, blocking your vision.
