Intermittent Wiper System

Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions

make a single wiping cycle, with a variable pause be-

tween cycles, desirable. Select the delay interval by

turning the end of the lever. Rotate the end of the lever

upward (clockwise) to decrease the delay time and

downward (counterclockwise) to increase the delay time.

The delay can be regulated from a maximum of approxi-

mately 18 seconds between cycles, to a cycle every

second.
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 control lever toward you and

hold while spray is desired. If the lever is pulled while in

the delay range, the wiper will operate in low-speed

while the lever is pulled and for two wipe cycles after the

lever is released, and then resume the intermittent inter-

val previously selected.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the wipers

will operate for two wipe cycles, then turn off.

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 windshield during freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster before and during
windshield washer use.
