WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER CONTROLS
Rotate the windshield wiper control
to the desired interval, low or high
speed position. The ignition must be
in the ACC or RUN position to
operate the windshield wiper.
The bars of varying length are for
intermittent wipers. When in this
position rotate the control upward
for fast intervals and downward for
slow intervals.
Push the control on the end of the
stalk to activate washer. Push and
hold for a longer wash cycle. The
washer will automatically shut off
after ten seconds of continuous use.
When the washer system senses low fluid in the washer bottle and the
control is pushed to activate the system, washer fluid will spray onto the
windshield (if the reservoir still has fluid in it), but the windshield wiper
will not automatically cycle if low fluid is sensed. The wiper must be
engaged by manually selecting a position on the wiper/washer control.
This is to let you know that the washer fluid is low or empty and needs
to be refilled. Refer to theWindshield washer fluidsection of the
Maintenance and specificationschapter.
Moisture sensitive wipers (if equipped)
When the windshield wiper control
is set to INT and the intermittent
position is AUTO, moisture sensitive
front wipers automatically activate
when moisture accumulates on the
windshield. When the ignition is
turned to Off and then back to Run
and the wiper setting has remained
in AUTO position, the wipers may
cycle one time.
The moisture sensitive wiper feature should be turned off before
entering a car wash.
