NOTE:

Always remove any buildup of snow that pre-

vents the windshield wiper blades from returning to the

off position. If the windshield wiper switch is turned off

and the blades cannot return to the off position, damage

to the wiper motor may occur.

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.

Intermittent Wiper System

Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions

make a single wiping cycle with a variable pause be-

tween cycles desirable. Rotate the end of the multifunc-

tion lever to the first detent position, and then turn the

end of the lever to select the desired delay interval. There

are five delay settings, which allow you to regulate the

wipe interval from a minimum of one cycle every second

to a maximum of approximately 36 seconds between

cycles. The delay intervals will double in duration when

the vehicle speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.

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.
