Peterbilt 325 2017, Operator'S Manual

Page: 111 / 392

STEERING COLUMN-MOUNTED CONTROLS
NOTE
The ignition key must be turned to
ON or ACC for the wiper/washer
switches to operate.
Wiper/Washer
The first position after OFF is the
intermittent #1 cycle. The next
positions are intermittent #2, #3, and
#4. The last two positions are wiper
low speed and wiper high speed.
To wash the windshield
Push the rotary wash/wipe knob in
(towards steering column), hold for
more than 0.8 seconds and then
release. Hold the knob in to extend
the washing cycle. After the lever
is released, the wipers will shut off
automatically or resume the wiper’s
setting speed.
To activate the wipers for one swipe
without activating the washer ("mist"
function), push the turn signal lever
in (towards the steering column) and
release in less than 0.5 seconds. The
wipers will perform a single swipe and
then resume the wiper’s setting speed.
WARNING!
Clean blades regularly with a damp
cloth to remove road film and wax
build-up. Do not drive with worn or
dirty wiper blades. They can reduce
visibility, making driving hazardous
which may lead to an injury accident
resulting in death or personal injury.
CAUTION
Do not use antifreeze or engine
coolant in the windshield washer
reservoir - damage to seals and
other components will result.
CAUTION
If the electric pump is operated for a
long period (more than 15 seconds)
with a dry reservoir, the pump motor
may be damaged.
Check the windshield washing fluid
level daily. If necessary, fill to top.
Clean all inside and outside windows
regularly. Use an alcohol-based
cleaning solution and wipe dry with
either a lint-free or a chamois cloth.
Avoid running the wiper blades over a
dry windshield to prevent scratching
the glass. Spray on washer fluid first.
A scratched windshield will reduce
visibility.
