CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
Warning: Before using the windshield washer
in cold weather, heat the windshield with the
defroster to prevent icing and reduced visibility.
Caution: To avoid damaging the pump
mechanism, do not use the windshield washer
when the fluid level is very low or empty.
Windshield Wipers (6)
Turn the lever counterclockwise to activate the
windshield wipers. The first position activates
the wipers intermittently. The second position is
the slow speed and the third position is for high
speed wiping.
Caution: To avoid scratching the windshield,
do not operate the wipers when the windshield is
dry. To avoid damaging the wiper motor, loosen
wiper blades that may be frozen to the
windshield before operating the wipers.

Braking System (ABS), if the wheels start to
