Windshield Wipers You control the windshield wipers by turning the band with the wiper symbol on it. (Off): Turn the band to this symbol to turn off the windshield wipers. (Mist): Turn the band to this symbol for a single wiping cycle. Hold it there until the windshield wipers start; then let it go. The windshield wipers will stop after one wipe. If you want more wipes, hold the band on mist longer. Turn the band upward to choose one of the five delay settings. For more wipes select a higher setting; for fewer wipes select a lower setting. The further the band is turned upward, the shorter the delay between wipes. Use this setting for light rain or snow. (Low Speed): Turn the band downward to the first solid band and past the delay settings, for steady wiping at low speed. (High Speed): Turn the band down further to the second solid band and past the delay settings, for steady wiping at high speed. Be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If they are frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. The windshield wiper motor is protected from overload by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy snow or ice the wiper will stop until the motor cools. Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to heavy snow or ice may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and heavy snow from the windshield before using your windshield wipers. Windshield Washer (Washer Fluid): There is a paddle marked with the windshield washer symbol at the top of the multifunction lever. To spray washer fluid on the windshield, press the paddle. The wipers will clear the window and then either stop or return to your preset 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. 2-36
