washer squirt, push the button on the end of the lever.
The ignition key must be in the ºONº position.
For mist wiper operation (a single wipe), pull the lever toward
you and release it.
The interval adjuster lets you adjust the wiping time interval
between wiper sweeps if the wiper lever is in the ºINTº

sweeps, and downward to decrease it.
Also, the wipers will automatically operate a couple of times
after the washer squirts even with the lever in the ºOFFº

comes on when the fluid level in the tank becomes nearly
empty. For information on adding washer fluid, see ºAdding
washer fluidº on page 396.
In cold weather, warm the windshield with the defroster
before using the washer. This will help prevent icing, which
could block your vision.
