Windshield Wiper Lever
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wipers are controlled by the lever on the
right of your steering column.
If your windshield wipers are on for more than six
seconds while you are driving, the low-beam headlamps,
instrument panel cluster backlighting and the taillamps
will turn on. For more information see “Wiper-Activated
Headlamps” under Exterior Lamps on page 3-14.
OFF: Lower the lever to its original position to turn the
wipers OFF.
INT (Intermittent): Push the lever up to the INT
position and turn the INT ADJ band to adjust the delay
time. The further you turn the band, the shorter the
delay between wiping cycles.
LO (Low Speed): Push the lever up to LO for steady
wiping at a slow speed.
HI (High Speed): Push the lever up to HI for steady
wiping at a high speed.
MIST: For a single wiping cycle, push the lever down to
the MIST position and let go. The wipers will stop after
one cycle. If you want more cycles, hold the lever down.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wiper motor. A
circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
Keep in mind that damaged wiper blades may prevent
you from seeing well enough to drive safely. To
avoid damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from the
wiper blades before using them. If your blades do
become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. See
Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement on page 5-57.
