NOTICE
Before using the windshield wipers
when there is a heavy accumulation of
snow or ice on the windshield, defrost
the windshield for about 10 minutes, or
until the snow or ice is removed. This
will help ensure proper windshield
wiper operation and will prevent dam-
age to the wiper blades, wiper linkage,
and wiper motor.
Variable intermittent wipers
Set the lever to the INT position and
choose the desired wiper interval by turn-
ing the ring(1).
One - touch wiper
For a single wiping cycle, push the lever
upward and release it with the lever in the
OFF position.
The wipers will operate continuously if
the lever is pushed upward and held.
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• To prevent possible damage to the
wipers or windshield, do not operate
the wipers when the windshield is dry.
• To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use gasoline, kerosene,
paint thinner, or other solvents on or
near them.
• To prevent damage to the wiper arms
and other components, do not attempt
to move the wipers manually.
