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 four 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.

Wiper Operation

Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to the first

detent, past the intermittent settings for low-speed wiper

operation, or to the second detent past the intermittent

settings for high-speed wiper operation.

CAUTION!

Turn the windshield wipers off when driving

through an automatic car wash. Damage to the
windshield wipers may result if the wiper control
is left in any position other than off.

In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch

and allow the wipers to return to the “Park” posi-
tion before turning off the engine. If the wiper
switch is left on and the wipers freeze to the
windshield, damage to the wiper motor may occur
when the vehicle is restarted.

Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents

the windshield wiper blades from returning to the
off position. If the windshield wiper control is
turned off and the blades cannot return to the off
position, damage to the wiper motor may occur.
