Windshield Wipers
Use the lever located on the right side of the steering
wheel to operate the windshield wipers.
9OFF:Move the lever to OFF to turn off the
windshield wipers.
QDELAY:If your vehicle has delay wipers, move the
lever to DELAY to choose a delayed wiping cycle.
Turn the lever down for a longer delay or up for a shorter
delay. The further the lever is turned upward, the
shorter the delay will be and the further the lever is
turned downward, the longer the delay will be. The wiper
speed can only be adjusted when the lever is in the
DELAY position. Use this position for light rain or snow.
Q1 (Low Speed):Move the lever up to the rst
setting past DELAY for steady wiping at low speed.
Q2 (High Speed):Move the lever up to the second
setting past DELAY for steady wiping at high speed.
RMIST:Move the lever all the way down to MIST for
a single wiping cycle. Hold it there until the windshield
wiper starts; then let go. The windshield wipers will stop
after one wipe. If you want more wipes, hold the
band on mist longer.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wipers. If this
occurs, a circuit breaker will stop the wipers until the
wiper motor cools. So, be sure to clear any snow or ice
from the windshield wiper blades before using them.
If the wiper blades are frozen to the windshield, carefully
loosen them or warm the windshield before turning
the wipers on. If your blades do become worn or
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.

Windshield Washers
To wash your windshield, pull the lever with the wiper
symbol on it toward you one time. When you release the
lever, the washers will stop. The wipers continue
wiping for about three cycles and will then either stop or
return to your preset speed.
{CAUTION:
In freezing weather, do not use your washer
until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the
washer uid can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
Exterior Lamps
The exterior lamp band on the turn signal/multifunction
lever controls the exterior lamps.
The exterior lamp band has three positions:
OFF:Turning the band to this position turns off all
lamps, except the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL).
