Cruise Control: 7, 8 STEERING COLUMN CONTROLS Windshield Washer EXAMPLE EXAMPLE CAUTION To help prevent damage to the windshield wiper and washer system components, you should take the following precautions: • Do not continue to hold in the lever when there is no windshield washer fluid being sprayed or the washer motor can be damaged. • Do not attempt to remove dirt from a dry windshield with the wipers or you can damage the windshield and the wiper blades. Always wet the windshield with washer fluid before operating the wipers. • Clear ice or packed snow from the wiper blades before using the wipers. • Check the washer fluid level regularly. Check it often when the weather is bad. • Only fill the washer fluid reservoir 3/4 full during cold weather to allow room for expansion if the temperature falls low enough to freeze the solution. 63J302 If the lever is equipped with the "INT TIME" control, turn the control forward or rearward to adjust the intermittent wiper operation to the desired interval. 63J303 To spray windshield washer fluid, pull the lever toward you. The windshield wipers will automatically turn on at low speed if they are not already on and the "INT" position is equipped. WARNING • To prevent windshield icing in cold weather, turn on the defroster to heat the windshield before and during windshield washer use. • Do not use radiator antifreeze in the windshield washer reservoir. It can severely impair visibility when sprayed on the windshield, and can also damage your vehicle's paint. 3-7 80J22-03E
