WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION
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. (fig. 55)

NOTE:

The wipers will automatically return to the

“park” position if you turn OFF the ignition switch
while they are operating. The wipers will resume op-
eration when you turn the ignition switch back to the
ON position.

• Turn the windshield wipers OFF when
driving through an automatic car wash.
Damage to the windshield wipers may

result if the wiper control is left in any position
other than OFF.
• 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.
• Always remove any buildup of snow that pre-
vents the windshield wiper blades from returning
to the “park” position. If the windshield wiper
control is turned OFF, and the blades cannot
return to the“park”position,damage to the wiper
motor may occur.

WINDSHIELD WASHERS
To use the windshield washer, push the washer knob,
located on the end of the multifunction lever, inward to
the second detent.

If you activate the washer while the wiper control is in
the delay range, the wipers will operate in low-speed
for two or three wipe cycles after releasing the lever
and then resume the intermittent interval previously
selected.
