2-39 Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield wipers by moving the stalk
with the windshield wiper symbol on it up or down.
For a single wiper cycle, push the stalk down to MIST,
then release it. The wipers will stop after one cycle. For
more cycles, hold the wiper stalk down longer.For steady wiping at low speed, move the wiper stalk
up to the ª1º. For high
-speed wiping, move the stalk
up to ª1º. To stop the wipers, move the stalk to OFF.
If your vehicle is equipped with variable delay, you can
set the wiper speed for a long or short interval between
wipes. This can be very useful.
Move the stalk to DELAY, then turn the inner band and
choose the delay you want. Turn the inner band up for a
shorter interval between wiper cycles. Turn the band
down for a longer interval between wiper cycles.
If your vehicle is equipped with fixed delay, you can use
this function by moving the stalk to DELAY.
Remember that damaged wiper blades may prevent you
from seeing well enough to drive safely. To avoid
damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If they're frozen to the
windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If your
blades do become damaged, get new blades or
blade inserts.
Heavy snow or ice can overload your wipers. Clear
away snow or ice to prevent an overload. In case of
overload, the circuit breaker will stop the wiper system
until the motor cools.

2-40 Windshield Washer
To wash your windshield, pull the stalk with the wiper
symbol on it toward you one time. When you release the
stalk, the washers will stop. The wipers continue wiping
for approximately three cycles and will either stop or
will resume the speed you were using before.
CAUTION:
In freezing weather, don't use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.
Cruise Control (If Equipped)
With cruise control, you can maintain a speed of about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more without keeping your foot
on the accelerator. This can really help on long trips.
Cruise control does not work at speeds below
about 25 mph (40 km/h).
When you apply your brakes, or the clutch pedal if you
have a manual transaxle, the cruise control shuts off.
