Windshield Wipers 6 (Low Speed): Move the lever up to the first setting past intermittent, for steady wiping at low speed. 1 (High Speed): 8 (Mist): Move the lever up to the second setting past intermittent, for wiping at 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 will stop after one wipe. If you want more wipes, hold the lever down longer. 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 the wiper blades are 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. If the motor gets stuck turn the wipers off, clear away the snow or ice, and then turn the wipers back on. As an added safety feature, if the wipers are on for more than thirty seconds, the vehicle's headlamps will turn on automatically. They will turn off when the wipers are turned off. 3-9 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. x (Intermittent): Move the lever to this position to choose a delayed wiping cycle. Turn the intermittent adjust band down for a longer delay or up for a shorter delay. The wiper speed can only be manually adjusted when the lever is in this position. & (Speed Sensitive Wipers): Move the lever to this position for speed sensitive operation. When you select this position, the delay will change with your vehicle's speed. The wiper speed will increase as you go faster and decrease as you go slower.
