You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay between wipes. This
can be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn
the
band
to
choose the delay
time. The closer
to
LO, the shorter the delay.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away from you to the
LO
position. For high speed wiping, turn the band further,
to
HI.
To
stop the
wipers, move the band to the
off
symbol.
Remember that worn or 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 worn
or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. The windshield wiper motor is
protected from overload by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor
overheats due
to
heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools.
Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to
heavy snow, etc. may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and
heavy snow from the windshield before using your windshield wipers.
Windshield Washer
At the top of the multifunction lever there’s a paddle marked with the
windshield washer symbol and
PUSH.
To spray washer fluid on the
windshield, push the paddle.
The wipers will clear the window and then either stop or return
to
your
preset speed.
Driving without washer fluid can be dangerous. A bad mud splash can block
your vision. You could hit another vehicle or go
off
the road. Check your
washer fluid level often.
