Windshield Wipers delay between wiping cycles. To the left of the adjust band are bars, increasing in size from bottom to top, that indicate the frequency of the wipes. Smaller bars mean the wipers movement is less frequent. Larger bars mean the movement is more frequent. 6 1 (Low Speed): Move the lever up to the first setting past intermittent, for steady wiping at low speed. (High Speed): Move the lever up to the second setting past intermittent, for wiping at a high speed. Move the lever all the way down to this position for a single wiping cycle. Hold it there until the windshield wipers start; then let go. The windshield wipers stop after one wiping cycle. If additional wiping cycles are needed, hold the lever down longer. Damaged wiper blades can prevent you from seeing well enough to drive safely. Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them to prevent damage. If the wiper blades are frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become damaged, get new blades. Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A circuit breaker stops the motor until it cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload. If the motor gets stuck, turn the wipers off, clear away the snow or ice, and then turn the wipers back on. 3-9 8 (Mist): Use this lever, located on the right side of the steering wheel, to operate the windshield wipers. 9 (Off): Move the lever to this position to turn off the windshield wipers. & (Intermittent; Speed Sensitive Wipers): Move the lever to this position for intermittent or speed sensitive operation.

Windshield Wipers
Use this lever, located on the right side of the steering
wheel, to operate the windshield wipers.
9
(Off):
Move the lever to this position to turn off the
windshield wipers.
&
(Intermittent; Speed Sensitive Wipers):
Move the
lever to this position for intermittent or speed sensitive
operation. The amount of delay time varies between
wiping cycles due to the delay setting selected or
the speed of the vehicle.
x
(Delay):
While the lever is in the intermittent
position, turn the intermittent adjust band with this
symbol on it up or down to select a shorter or longer
delay between wiping cycles. To the left of the adjust
band are bars, increasing in size from bottom to top, that
indicate the frequency of the wipes. Smaller bars
mean the wipers movement is less frequent. Larger
bars mean the movement is more frequent.
6
(Low Speed):
Move the lever up to the first
setting past intermittent, for steady wiping at low speed.
1
(High Speed):
Move the lever up to the second
setting past intermittent, for wiping at a high speed.
8
(Mist):
Move the lever all the way down to
this position for a single wiping cycle. Hold it there until
the windshield wipers start; then let go. The windshield
wipers stop after one wiping cycle. If additional
wiping cycles are needed, hold the lever down longer.
Damaged wiper blades can prevent you from seeing well
enough to drive safely. Clear ice and snow from the
wiper blades before using them to prevent damage.
If the wiper blades are frozen to the windshield, carefully
loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become
damaged, get new blades.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A
circuit breaker stops the motor until it cools. Clear away
snow or ice to prevent an overload. If the motor gets
stuck, turn the wipers off, clear away the snow or
ice, and then turn the wipers back on.
