Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper lever is located on the left side of the steering column.
Turn the band with the wiper symbol on it to control the windshield wipers.
(Mist): For a single wiping cycle,
hold it on mist
until the wipers start, then release. The wipers stop after
one wipe. Several wipes, hold the band longer.
(Delay): Use to set the delay time
between wipe
cycles. The wiper speed can be set for a long or short
delay between wipes. The closer the band is set to
the top of the lever, the shorter the delay.
(Low Speed): Slow wipes.
(High Speed): Fast wipes.
(Off): Turns the wipers off.
Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. Damaged blades should be replaced.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools.
The vehicle has wiper-activated headlamps. After the windshield wipers have completed eight wipe cycles within four minutes, the headlamps automatically turn on. See Wiper Activated Headlamps for more information.
