UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 201 CAUTION! (Continued) • Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the windshield wiper blades from returning to the "park" position. If the windshield wiper control is turned OFF, and the blades cannot return to the "park" position, damage to the wiper motor may occur. Windshield Washers To use the windshield washer, push the washer knob, located on the end of the multifunction lever, inward to the second detent. If you activate the washer while the wiper control is in the delay range, the wipers will operate in low-speed for two or three wipe cycles after releasing the lever and then resume the intermittent interval previously selected. If you activate the washer while the wiper control is in the OFF position, the wipers will operate for two or three wipe cycles and then turn OFF. WARNING! Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could lead to a collision. You might not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the windshield during freezing weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before and during windshield washer use. Mist Feature Push the washer knob, located on the end of the multifunction lever, inward to the first detent to activate a single wipe cycle to clear the windshield of road mist or spray from a passing vehicle. The wipers will continue to operate until you release the lever. 3
