Control
The multifunction lever is located on
the left side of the steering column.
The multifunction lever operates the
windshield wipers and washer when
the ignition device is placed in RUN or
ACC position.
A windshield washer low fluid level
is indicated by the warning light
and by the message on the instrument
cluster.
To refill the fluid, see "Maintenance
Procedures" in section "Maintenance
and Care".
CAUTION!
•
Turn the windshield wipers off when
driving through an automatic car
wash. The windshield wipers may be
damaged if the wiper control is left
in any position other than "OFF".
•
In cold weather, always turn off the
wiper switch and allow the wipers to
return to the park position before
turning off the engine. If the wiper
switch is left on and the wipers
freeze to the windshield, the wiper
motor may be damaged when the
vehicle is restarted.
•
Always remove any buildup of snow
that prevents the windshield wiper
blades from returning to the off
position. If the windshield wiper
control is turned off and the blades
cannot return to the off position, the
wiper motor may be damaged.
Windshield Wipers
• Rotate the end of the multifunction
lever to one of the four settings to
activate the automatic intermittent
setting (see "Rain Sensing Wipers"
paragraph in this chapter).
• For low speed wiper operation
(stable position "LO"): rotate the end
of the multifunction control lever
forward to the first trigger after the
intermittent setting.
• Rotate to the second trigger after the
intermittent setting for high-speed
(stable position HI) wiper operation.
• Rotate the end of the lever
downward to the "MIST" position
to activate a single wipe cycle. The
wipers will continue to operate until
you release the multifunction lever.
• To turn the wipers off rotate the
lever to "OFF".
Rain Sensing Wipers
This function detects moisture on the
windshield through an internal rear
view mirror integrated sensor, which
automatically activates the wipers.
Rotate the end of the multifunction
lever to one of four settings to adjust
the detection system.
First wiper delay position is the least
sensitive, and fourth wiper delay
