Windshield Wipers To operate the windshield wipers turn the band located on the multifunction lever upward or downward. WIPER: Turn this band to control the windshield wipers. OFF: Turn the band to OFF to turn off the windshield wipers. LO (Low Speed): Turn the band away from you to LO and past the delay settings for steady wiping at low speed. HI (High Speed): Turn the band away from you, to HI, and past the delay settings for steady wiping at a high speed. (Delayed Wiping): Turn the band away from you, just past OFF, to one of the five delayed settings, to choose the length of intervals between each wiping cycle. The further the band is turned upward, toward LO, the shorter the delay will be. Select one of these settings for light rain or snow. MIST: Turn the band to MIST for a single wiping cycle. Hold it until the windshield wipers start. Then let it go. The windshield wipers will stop after one wipe. If more wipes are needed, hold the band on MIST longer. Be sure to clear ice and snow from the windshield wiper blades before using them. If they are frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If the blades do become worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. See Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement on page 5-56. Heavy snow or ice can overload the wipers. A circuit breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload. 3-7
