You can set the wiper speed for a long short delay between wipes. This or can be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band to choose thedelay time. The closer to LO, the shorter thedelay. For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away from you to the LO position. For high speed wiping, turn the band further, to HI. To stop the wipers, move the band to the off symbol. Remember that worn or damaged wiper blades may prevent you from seeing well enough to drive safely. To avoid damage, be sureto clear ice and snow from the wiper blades beforeusing them. If they're frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. Heavy snow or icecan overload yourwipers. The windshield wiper motor is protected from overloadby a circuit breakerand a fuse.If the motor overheats due to heavy snow, etc., the wiper will stop until the motor cools. Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to heavy snow, etc. may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and heavy snow from thewindshield before using your windshield wipers. Windshield Washer At the top of the multifunction lever there's a paddle marked with the windshield washer symbol and PUSH. To spray washer fluid on the windshield, push the paddle. The wipers will clear the window and then either stop orreturn to your preset speed. Driving without washer fluid can be dangerous. A bad mud splash can block your vision. You could hit another vehicle or go off the road. Check your washer fluid level often. 2-37
