Windshield Wiper/Washer Lever The lever on the right side of the steering column controls the windshield wipers and washer. 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 if you have the intermittent wiper feature. See "Windshield Washer Fluid" in the Index. Move the lever to the position you want: 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 a longer or shorter delay intervals. LO: The wipers will run continuously at low speed. HI: The wipers will run continuously at high speed. 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. 2-29
