lect the delay interval by turning the end of
the lever. Rotate the end of the lever upward
(clockwise) to decrease the delay time and
downward (counterclockwise) to increase the
delay time. The delay can be regulated from a
maximum of approximately 18 seconds be-
tween cycles, to a cycle every second.
NOTE:
The wiper delay times depend on vehicle
speed. If the vehicle is moving less than
10 mph (16 km/h), delay times will be
doubled.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the control lever
toward you and hold while spray is desired. If
the lever is pulled while in the delay range,
the wiper will operate in low-speed while the
lever is pulled and for two wipe cycles after
the lever is released, and then resume the
intermittent interval previously selected.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position,
the wipers will operate for two wipe cycles,
then turn off.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the wind-
shield could lead to a collision. You might
not see other vehicles or other obstacles.
To avoid sudden icing of the windshield
during freezing weather, warm the wind-
shield with the defroster before and during
windshield washer use.
Headlights On With Wipers (Available
With Automatic Headlights Only)
When this feature is active, the headlights
will turn on approximately 10 seconds after
the wipers are turned on if the headlight
switch is placed in the AUTO position. In
addition, the headlights will turn off when the
wipers are turned off if they were turned on by
this feature.
NOTE:
The Headlights On with Wipers feature can
be turned on or off using the instrument
cluster display. Please refer to the instruction
manuals at www.jeep.com/en/owners/
manuals/ for complete details and other im-
portant safety information.
Mist Feature
Push down on the control lever to activate a
single wipe to clear the windshield of road
mist or spray from a passing vehicle. As long
as the lever is held down, the wipers will
continue to operate.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer
pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be
sprayed on the windshield. The wash func-
tion must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.
