Steering Column Controls Windshield Wipers and Washer Variable Interval Wipers Your vehicle has wipers that you can set to operate at varying intervals. For example, you can set the interval so they wipe less often in light rain or more often in heavier rain. Variable interval wiper control To set the interval wipers, rotate the knob at the end of the turn signal lever to the most effective interval. The farther the knob is from the OFF position, the faster the wipers move. To clean the windshield, push in the end of the knob on the turn signal lever. For a constant spray, push and hold the end of the knob. If the windshield wipers are off, they automatically turn on for two wipe cycles after you squirt the washer fluid. Do not try to clean the windshield when the washer fluid container is empty and never activate the washers for more than fifteen seconds continuously. This could damage the washer pump system. 125
