The intermittent feature of this system was designed for
use when weather conditions make a single wiping cycle,
with a variable pause between cycles, desirable. For
maximum delay between cycles, rotate the control knob
into the upper end of the delay range.
The delay interval decreases as you rotate the knob until
it enters the LO continual speed position. The delay can
be regulated from a maximum of about 15 seconds
between cycles, to a cycle every 2 seconds.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield
could lead to an accident. You might not see other
vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of
the windshield during freezing weather, warm the
windshield with defroster before and during wind-
shield washer use.
Speed-Sensitive Intermittent Wipe — If Equipped
For vehicles equipped with Speed-Sensitive Intermittent
Wipe, if the vehicle is moving at a speed of less than 10
mph (16 km/h), the delay time between wipes will be
doubled, resulting in a longer time between wipes (1–36
seconds).
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, push in on the knob on the end of the
multifunction control lever and hold while spray is
desired. If the knob is depressed while in the delay range,
the wiper will operate for several seconds after the knob
is released. It will then resume the intermittent interval
