Windshield Wiper/Washer
The windshield wiper/washer lever is on the
left side of the steering column. With the
ignition on or in accessory mode, move the
windshield wiper knob to select the wiper
speed.
HI : Use for fast wipes.
LO : Use for slow wipes.
INT : Turn the knob to INT for intermittent
wipes, then turn the
O INT band up for
more frequent wipes or down for less
frequent wipes.
OFF : Use to turn the wipers off.
T 8 : For a single wipe, push the button
to the first stop position briefly and release.
For several wipes, hold the button at the
first stop position longer and release.
| L : Push the button beyond the first
stop position to spray windshield washer
fluid and activate the wipers. The wipers will
continue until the button is released or the
maximum wash time is reached. When the
windshield wiper button is released,
additional wipes may occur depending on
how long the windshield washer has been
activated. See Washer Fluid 0 244 for
information on filling the windshield washer
fluid reservoir.
Clear snow and ice from the wiper blades
and windshield before using them. If frozen
to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw
them. Damaged blades should be replaced.
See Wiper Blade Replacement 0 249.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper
motor.

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.
{
Warning
Before driving the vehicle, always clear
snow and ice from the hood, windshield,
washer nozzles, roof, and rear of the
vehicle, including all lamps and windows.
Reduced visibility from snow and ice
buildup could lead to a crash.
Wiper Parking
If the ignition is turned off while the wipers
are on LO, HI, or INT, they will
immediately stop.
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 ignition is turned off while the wipers
are performing wipes due to windshield
washing, the wipers continue to run until
they reach the base of the windshield.
