Windshield
Wipers
You
control
the
windshield
wipers
by
moving
the
stalk
with
the
wiper
symbol
on
it
up or down.
For a
single
wiper
cycle,
push
the
stalk
down
to
MIST,
then
release it.
For
more
cycles,
hold
the
stalk
down
longer.
For
steady
wiping
at
low
speed,
move
the
stalk
up
to
the
(1)
position.
For
high-speed
wiping,
move
the
stalk
up
further,
to
(2).
To stop the
wipers,
move
the
stalk
to
OFF.
Remember
that
damaged
wiper
blades
may
prevent
you
from
seeing
well
enough
to
drive
safely.
To
avoid
damage,
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
wiper
motor.
A circuit
breaker
will
stop
the
motor
until
it
cools.
Clear
away
snow
or
ice to
prevent
an
overload.
Controlled
Cycle
Wipers
(If
Equipped)
You can set
the
wiper
speed
for a
long or short delay
between
wipes.
This
can
be
very
useful
in light
rain
or
snow.
Move
the
stalk
to DELAY, then
rotate
the
inner
band
and
choose
the
delay
you
want.
Rotate
the
inner
band
up for shorter
delay
times
between
wiper
cycles.
Rotate
the
band
down
for
a
longer
delay
time
between
wiper
cycles.
With
controlled
cycle
wipers,
you
can also
use
MIST
for
a
single
wiper
cycle.
