LO (Low): Move the lever to LO for steady wiping at low speed. HI (High): Move the lever to HI for steady wiping at high speed. MIST: 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 wipe. REAR: To turn on the rear window wiper, twist the end of the lever upward. The wiper does not work with the rear liftglass open. 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 your blades do become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. A circuit breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload. Windshield Washer Pull the lever toward you to spray washer fluid on the windshield. The spray will continue until you release the lever. The wipers will run a few times. See "Windshield Washer Fluid" in the Index. To squirt washer fluid on the rear window, twist the knob upward and downward as far as it will go. The knob automatically returns from these positions after you release it. You can twist the lever downward to create a large flow of water on the rear window, then twist the lever back up to wipe the window. This feature is helpful to quickly clear the rear liftglass when very dirty. 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. 2-38
