Windshield Wipers
OFF:
Turn the band to
OFF
to turn
off
the wipers.
WIPER: Turn the band on the turn signal lever to
control the wipers.
MIST:
Turn the band toward you to MIST and then
release it for a single wiping cycle.
For
more cycles, hold
the band on MIST longer.
LO
or
HI:
Turn the band away from you to either
LO
(low speed) or to HI (high speed), depending on
the wiper speed you want.
Delay:
Turn the band to one of the delay positions to
set the wiper speed for a long or a short delay between
wipes. The closer you move it to
LO,
the shorter the
delay.
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.
Your vehicle is equipped with wiper-activated headlamps.
After the windshield wipers have been on for
approximately six seconds, the headlamps will
automatically turn on. See
Wiper Activated Headlamps
under
Exterior Lamps

RainsenseTM
II
Wipers
If
your vehicle has this feature, the moisture sensor is
mounted on the interior side of the windshield behind the
rearview mirror. It
is used
to
automatically operate the
wipers by monitoring the amount of moisture build-up on
the windshield. Wipes occur as needed to clear the
windshield depending on driving conditions and
the sensitivity setting. In light rain or snow, fewer wipes
will occur. In heavy rain or snow, wipes will occur
more frequently. The RainsenseTM wipers operate in a
delay mode as well as a continuous low or high
speed as needed.
If
the system is left on for long periods
of
time, occasional wipes may occur without any
moisture on the windshield. This
is
normal and indicates
that the RainsenseTM system is activated.
