Windshield Wipers You can set the wiper speed for a long or shortdelay between wipes. This can bevery useful in light rain or snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. The closer to LO, the shorter the delay. For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away from you to the LO position, Forhigh-speed wiping, turn the band further, to HI, To stop the wipers, move the band to OFF. Damaged wiper blades may prevent you from seeing well enough to drive safely. To avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow fromthe wiper blades before using them. If they're frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If your bladesdo become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts, You control the windshield wipers by turning the band with the wiper symbol on it. For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold it there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want more cycles, hold the band on MIST longer. Heavy snow or icecan overload your wipers. A circuit breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload. 2-46
