Windshield Wipers
The lever on the right side
of the steering column
controls the windshield
wipers and washer.
The available positions are the following:
OFF: The wipers are off.
INT: This position provides intermittent windshield
wiper operation. In light rain or snow, you might want
to use this position rather than continuous wiping.
You can change the time between wipes by turning the
INT TIME band. Turn the band forward or rearward
for longer or shorter delay interval.
LO: The wipers will run continuously at low speed.
HI: The wipers will run continuously at high speed.
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.
Windshield Washer
Pull the end of the lever toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windshield. The spray will continue until
you release the lever. The wipers will run a few times.
See “Windshield Washer Fluid” in the Index.
CAUTION:
In freezing weather, don’t use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.
