band lets you adjust the wiping time inter-
val when the wiper lever is in the intermit-

To squirt washer fluid, push the button
at the end of the lever.

with the defroster before using the wash-
er. This will help prevent the washer fluid
from freezing on your windshield, which
can block your vision.
