Windshield Wipers

Turn the band with the wiper symbol to control the
windshield wipers.

8

(Mist): Turn to mist for a single wiping cycle. Hold it

there until the wipers start. Then let go. The wipers stop
after one wipe. Hold the band on mist longer, for more
wipe cycles.

9

(Off): Turns the wipers off.

6

(Delay): Turn the band to adjust the delay time.

The delay between wiping cycles becomes shorter as
the band is moved to the top of the lever. This can
be very useful in light rain or snow.

6

(Low Speed): For steady wiping at low speed.

?

(High Speed): For high-speed wiping.

Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using
them. If they are frozen to the windshield, gently loosen
or thaw them. Damaged wiper blades may not clear the
windshield well, making it harder to see and drive safely.

If the blades do become damaged, install new blades or
blade inserts. For more information, see Windshield
Wiper Blade Replacement
on page 5-53.

Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor.
A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools down.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.

Windshield Washer

L

Q

(Washer Fluid): There is a paddle marked

with the windshield washer symbol at the top of the
multifunction lever. To spray washer fluid on the
windshield, push the paddle. The wipers will clear the
window and then either stop or return to your preset
speed.

{

CAUTION:

In freezing weather, do not use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your
vision.
