Windshield wipers off
Single sweep function
If the lever is in the 0 position and
you move it upwards, the wipers
will sweep one stroke at a time for
as long as you hold the lever up.
Intermittent wiper function
With the lever in this position, you
can set the wiper interval by twist-
ing the control ring (1) upward to
increase wiper speed or down-
ward to decrease the speed.
Headlight washer (certain models)
When the lever is pulled to wash the wind-
shield, high pressure jets mounted in the
bumper will spray the headlights.
• To conserve washer fluid in driving condi-
tions where the windshield washers are
used frequently, the headlights will only be
washed once for every five times the wind-
shield is washed within a 10 minute period.
• A short pull on the lever will wash the wind-
shield only.
• When approximately 1"US quart (1 liter)
remains in the washer fluid reservoir, the
headlights will not be washed when the
lever is pulled to conserve washer fluid for
the windshield.
CAUTION
• Use ample washer fluid when washing
the windshield. The windshield should
be thoroughly wet when the wipers are
in operation.
• Before using the wipers, ice and snow
should be removed from the windshield.
Be sure the wiper blades are not frozen
in place.
Rain sensor (option)
The rain sensor automatically regulates wiper
speed according to the amount of water on the
windshield.
The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted
by twisting ring 1 up (the wipers will sweep the
windshield more frequently) or down (the wip-
ers will sweep the windshield less frequently).
