Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever to one of the first two
detent positions for intermittent settings. The
first intermittent wiper interval is 10 seconds.
The second intermittent wipe interval is based
on vehicle speed. Rotate to the third detent for
low wiper operation and the fourth detent for
high wiper operation.
CAUTION!
•
Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the “park” position. If the wind-
shield wiper switch is turned off, and the
blades cannot return to the “park” position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.
•
Failure to follow these cautions can cause
damage to the heating elements:
•
Use care when washing the inside of the
rear window. Do not use abrasive win-
dow cleaners on the interior surface of
the window. Use a soft cloth and a mild
washing solution, wiping parallel to the
heating elements. Labels can be peeled
off after soaking with warm water.
•
Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments,
or abrasive window cleaners on the in-
terior surface of the window.
•
Keep all objects a safe distance from the
window.
Windshield Washer Operation
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and
hold while spray is desired. If the lever is pulled
while in the intermittent setting, the wipers will
turn on and operate for several wipe cycles after
the lever is released, and then resume the
intermittent interval previously selected.
If the lever is pulled while the wipers are in the
off position, the wipers will operate for several
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 windshield with
the defroster before and during windshield
washer use.
Mist
Use this feature when weather conditions make
occasional usage of the wipers necessary. Push
the lever upward to the MIST position and
release for a single wiping cycle.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer
pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed
on the windshield. The wash function must be
used in order to spray the windshield with
washer fluid.
