wiping cycle for the proper interval.
The more it rains, the faster the wiper operates. When the rain stops, the wip‐
er stops.
To vary the speed setting, turn the
speed control knob (1).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO mode when the ignition switch is ON, the wip‐
er will operate once to perform a self-
check of the system. Set the wiper to OFF (O) position when the wiper is not
in use.

automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield diffi‐
cult to clean.
Contamination of either the windshield
or the wiper blades with foreign matter can reduce the effectiveness of the
windshield wipers. Common sources of
contamination are insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments used by some
commercial car washes. If the blades
are not wiping properly, clean both the window and the blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiperblades, do not use gasoline, kero‐sene, paint thinner, or other solventson or near them.

quately, the blades may be worn or cracked, and require replacement.
