yellowblue You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or snow. Push the lever up to INT (intermittent), then turn the band, located on the lever, to adjust the delay time. Rotate the band up for a shorter delay, down for a longer delay. The wiper speed can only be adjusted when the lever is in the INT position, not in HI or LO. For steady wiping at low speed, move the lever up to the LO position. For steady high-speed wiping, move the lever up further, to HI. To stop the wipers, move the lever down to OFF. 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 the blades do become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. 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. Windshield Washer The lever on the right side of the steering column also controls the windshield washer. There is a push button at the end of the lever. To spray washer fluid on the windshield, push the button and hold it. The washer will spray until you release the button. The wipers will continue to clear the window for about six seconds after the button is released and then 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. If the fluid in the windshield washer fluid reservoir is low, the message LOW WASHER FLUID will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display. It will take 60 seconds after the bottle is refilled for this message to turn off. For information on the correct washer fluid mixture to use, see "Windshield Washer Fluid" and "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index. 2-47
