DELAY:
You can set the wiper speed for a long
or
short
delay between wipes with this setting. Move the band to
the DELAY position. The closer you move it to
LO,
the
shorter the delay. (DeVille Only)
OFF:
Turn the band to
OFF
to turn off the wipers.
Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades
before using them.
If
they’re frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
If
the blades do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A
circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. Clear
away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
Rainsense Wipers (DeVille d’Elegance and
DeVille Concours Only)
This moisture sensor is mounted on the passenger’s
interior side
of
the windshield behind the rearview
mirror and
is
used to automatically operate the wipers
by monitoring the amount
of
moisture that is on
the windshield.
The Rainsense system can be activated by turning the
wiper stalk to one of the five sensitivity levels within the
AUTO DELAY area. The AUTO DELAY position
closest to
OFF
is
the lowest sensitivity setting.
This
allows more water to collect on the windshield between
wipes. Rotating the stalk away from you to the other
AUTO DELAY settings increases the sensitivity
of
the
system and frequency
of
wipes.
A
single wipe will occur
each time you
turn
the wiper stalk to a higher sensitivity
level.
An
initial wipe occurs when you turn the ignition
on as a reminder that Rainsense is active. The windshield
wipers
also
remain in a “high park” position (the wipers
will
stop on the windshield rather than their
fully
rested
position), even when the ignition is turned
off.
