To avoid sudden icing of the windshield during freezing weather, warm the windshield with defroster before and during windshield washer use. Speed-Sensitive Intermittent Wipe - If Equipped For vehicles equipped with Speed-Sensitive Intermittent Wipe, if the vehicle is moving at a speed of less than 10 mph (16 km/h), the delay time between wipes will be doubled, resulting in a longer time between wipes (1-36 seconds). Windshield Washers To use the washer, push in on the knob on the end of the multifunction control lever and hold while spray is desired. If the knob is depressed while in the delay range, the wiper will operate for several seconds after the knob is released. It will then resume the intermittent interval The intermittent feature of this system was designed for use when weather conditions make a single wiping cycle, with a variable pause between cycles, desirable. For maximum delay between cycles, rotate the control knob into the upper end of the delay range. The delay interval decreases as you rotate the knob until it enters the LO continual speed position. The delay can be regulated from a maximum of about 15 seconds between cycles, to a cycle every 2 seconds.
