Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A
circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools down.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload. If
the wipers gets stuck, turn the wipers off, clear away
the snow or ice, and then turn the wipers back on.
Use this lever, located on the right side of the steering
wheel, to operate the windshield wipers.
1
(High Speed): Move the lever to this position for
steady wiping at high speed.
6
(Low Speed): Move the lever to this position for
steady wiping at low speed.
& (Delay): Move the lever to this position to set a
delay between wipes.
6
(Delay/Intermittent Speed Sensitive): When the
lever is in the delay position, move the intermittent adjust
band to set for shorter or longer delay cycles. To the
left of the adjust band are bars that indicate the
frequency of the wipes. Smaller bars mean the wiper
movement is less frequent. Larger bars mean the wiper
movement is more frequent.
During intermittent wiping mode, the delay cycle time is
sensitive to vehicle speed. As the vehicle speed
increases your delay cycle time will decrease and wiper
movement will occur more frequently.
9 (Off): Move the lever to this position to turn off the
windshield wipers.
8 (Mist): Move the lever all the way down to mist
and release for a single wiping cycle. The windshield
wipers will stop after one wipe and the lever will return to
its original position. If additional wipes are needed,
hold the band on mist longer.
As an added safety feature, if the wipers are on for
more than 15 seconds, the vehicle’s headlamps will turn
on automatically. They will turn off 15 seconds after
the wipers are turned off.
