To turn the wipers on, move the lever down until you
reach the desired speed setting.
The ignition key must be in the ªONº position.

ªHIº position: High speed operation
Twist the interval adjuster upward to increase the
wiping time interval between sweeps, and downward to
decrease it.
The wiper lever must be in the ªINTº position.To make the washer squirt, push the button on the end
of the lever.
Also, the wipers will automatically operate a couple of times
after the washer squirts even with the lever in the ªOFFº
position.
The low washer fluid warning light in the instrument cluster
comes on when the fluid level in the tank becomes nearly
empty. For information on adding washer fluid, see ªAdding
washer fluidº on page 230.
In cold weather, warm the windshield with the defroster
before using the washer. This will help prevent icing, which
could block your vision.NOTICE

may scratch the glass.
