You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or snow. Push the lever up to INT(intermittent), then turn the band, located on the lever, to adjust the delay time. Rotate the band up for a shorter delay, down for a longer delay. The wiper speed can only be adjusted when the lever is inthe INT position, not in HIor LO. For steady wiping at low speed, move the lever up to the LO position. For steady high-speed wiping, move the lever up further, to HI. To stop the wipers, move the lever down to OFF. Be sureto 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 The lever on the right side of your steering column also controls your windshield washer.There is a push button on at the end of the lever. To spray washer fluid the windshield, push the button and hold it. The washer will spray until you release the button. The wipers will continue to clear the window for about six seconds after the button is released and then stop or return to your preset speed. In freezing weather, don't use your washer until the windshieldis warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid can form iceon the windshield, blocking your vision. If the fluid in the windshield washerfluid reservoir is low, the message LOW WASHER FLUID will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. It will take 60 seconds after the bottle is refilled for this message to turn off. For information on the correct washer fluid mixture to use, see "Windshield Washer Fluid" and "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index.
