Rotate the end of the lever upward to the first detent
past the intermittent settings for low-speed wiper
operation. Rotate the end of the lever upward to the
second detent past the intermittent settings for high-
speed wiper operation.
CAUTION!
In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and
allow the wipers to return to the park position before
turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left on
and the wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to
the wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is
restarted.
Intermittent Wipers
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions
make a single wiping cycle, with a variable pause
between cycles, desirable. Rotate the end of the lever
to the first detent position for one of four intermittent
settings. The delay cycle can be set anywhere between
1 to 18 seconds.
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 lever toward you and hold
until desired spray is reached. If the lever is pulled
while in the delay range, the wiper will start and con-
tinue to operate for two or three wipe cycles after the
lever is released. Then, the intermittent interval previ-
ously selected will resume.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the wipers
will operate for two or three wipe cycles. Then, the wip-
ers will turn off.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the washer will stop if the
switch is held for more than 20 seconds. Once the
switch is released the washer will resume normal
operation.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could
lead to a collision. You might not see other vehicles or
other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the wind-
shield during freezing weather, warm the windshield
with the defroster before and during windshield
washer use.
Mist
Push upward on the wiper lever to activate a single
wipe to clear off-road mist or spray from a passing
vehicle. As long as the lever is held up, 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 wind-
shield. The washer function must be used in order to
spray the windshield with washer fluid.

page 317.
