Windshield
Wipers
You
control the windshield
wipers by turning the knob
with the wiper symbol on
it.
For a single wiping cycle, turn the knob to MIST. Hold
it
there
until
the wipers start,
then
let go. The wipers will
stop after one cycle.
If
you want more cycles, hold the
knob on MIST longer.
You can set the wiper speed for
a
long or short delay
between wipes. This
can
be
very
useful
in
light rain
or
snow. Turn the knob to choose the delay time. The
closer to
LOW,
the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed,
turn
the knob to the
LOW
position. For high-speed wiping, turn the knob
further,
to
HIGH.
To stop the wipers, move the knob
to
OFF.
Damaged wiper blades may prevent you from seeing
well enough
to
drive safely.
To
avoid damage, be sure to
clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using
them. If they are frozen to the windshield, carefully
loosen or thaw them.
If
your blades do become
damaged, get new blades
or
blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. The
windshield wiper motor
is
protected from overload by a
circuit breaker and
a
fuse. If the motor overheats due to
heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop
until
the motor cools.
Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload,
overload due
to
heavy snow, etc. may cause wiper linkage
damage. Always clear ice and heavy snow from the
windshield before using your windshield wipers.
