Windshield Wipers OFF: Turn the band to OFF to turn off the wipers. 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 the blades do become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload. Your vehicle is equipped with wiper-activated headlamps. After the windshield wipers have been on for approximately six seconds, the headlamps will automatically turn on. See Wiper Activated Headlamps under Exterior Lampson page 3-15for more information. WIPER: Turn the band on the turn signal lever to control the wipers. RainsenseTM II Wipers If your vehicle has this feature, the moisture sensor is mounted on the interior side of the windshield behind the rearview mirror. It is used to automatically operate the wipers by monitoring the amount of moisture build-up on the windshield. Wipes occur as needed to clear the windshield depending on driving conditions and the sensitivity setting. In light rain or snow, fewer wipes will occur. In heavy rain or snow, wipes will occur more frequently. The RainsenseTM wipers operate a in delay mode as well as a continuous low or high speed as needed. If the system is left on for long periods of time, occasional wipes may occur without any moisture on the windshield. This is normal and indicates that the RainsenseTM system activated. is MIST: Turn the band toward you to MIST and then release it for a single wiping cycle. For more cycles, hold the band on MIST longer. LO or HI: Turn the band away from you to either LO (low speed) or to HI (high speed), depending on the wiper speed you want. Delay: Turn the band to one of the delay positions to set the wiper speed for a long or a short delay between wipes. The closer you move it to LO, the shorter the delay. 3-10
