Windshield Wipers

WIPER: Turn the band marked WIPER to control the
windshield wipers.

MIST: For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST.
Hold it there until the wipers start, then let go. The
wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want more cycles,
hold the band on mist longer.

Delay: For delayed wiping cycles, you can set the
wiper speed for a long or short delay between wipes.
This can be very useful in light rain or snow. Turn
the band to choose the delay time. The closer to LO,
the shorter the delay time.

LO: For steady wiping cycles at low speed, turn the
band away from you to the LO position.

HI: For high-speed wiping, turn the band away from
you to the HI position.

OFF: To stop the wipers, turn the band to OFF.

Remember that damaged wiper blades may prevent you
from seeing well enough to drive safely. To avoid
damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If they’re frozen to the
windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades
do become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.

Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. A circuit
breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear away
snow or ice to prevent an overload.

Windshield Washer

L

: To wash your windshield, press and hold the

windshield washer paddle. The washers and wipers will
operate. When you release the paddle, the washers
will stop, and the wipers will continue to operate for two
cycles, unless your wipers were already on. In that
case, the wipers will resume the wiper speed you had
selected earlier.

{

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.

Cruise Control

With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your foot
on the accelerator. This can really help on long trips.
