Instruments and Controls 5-7
G (Adjustable Interval Wipes):
Move the lever up to
G for
adjustable interval wipes, 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): For a single wipe, briefly
move the wiper lever down. For
several wipes, hold the wiper
lever down.
Clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If frozen
to the windshield, carefully loosen or
thaw them. Damaged wiper blades
should be replaced. See Wiper
Blade Replacement on page 10‑28.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wipers. If the wiper motor overheats,
the windshield wipers will stop until
the motor cools and the wiper
control is turned off. See Electrical
System Overload on page 10‑33.
Wipe Parking
If the vehicle is turned off while the
wipers are on 1, 2, or
G, they will
stop immediately.
If the windshield wiper lever is then
moved to off before the driver door
is opened or within 10 minutes, the
wipers will restart and move to the
base of the windshield.
If the vehicle is turned 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 10‑21 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.
