Windshield
Wipers
The lever on the right side of your steering column
controls your windshield wipers.
For a single wiping cycle, move the lever up 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 lever to
MIST
longer.
For steady wiping at low speed, push the lever down to
the
LO
position.
For
high-speed wiping, push the lever
down further, to HI.
To
stop the wipers, move the lever
to OFF.
You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wiper cycles. This can be very useful in light
rain
or
snow. Push the lever down to the first detent,
DELAY.
Turn the band closer to the short lines for fewer
wiper passes per minute.
As
you turn the band toward
the long lines, the wiper cycles per minute will increase.
Remember that 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’re 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.
A
circuit
breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away
snow or ice to prevent an overload.
