Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain or
snow. Push the lever up to INT (intermittent), then turn
the band, located on the lever, to adjust the delay time.
Rotate the band up for
a shorter delay, down for a longer
delay. The wiper speed can only be adjusted when the
lever is
in the INT position, not in HI or LO.
For steady wiping at low speed, move the lever up to
the
LO position. For steady high-speed wiping, move
the lever up further, to HI. To stop the wipers, move the
lever down to
OFF.
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.
A circuit
breaker will stop them until the motor cools. Clear
away snow or ice
to prevent an overload.
Windshield Washer
The lever on the right side of your steering column also
controls your windshield washer. At the end of the lever
there is a push button.
To spray washer fluid on the
windshield, push the button and hold it. The washer
will spray until you release the button. The wipers will
continue to clear the window for about six seconds after
the button is released and then stop or return to your
preset speed.
A 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.
If the fluid in the windshield washer fluid reservoir is
low, the message
LOW WASHER FLUID will appear
on the Driver Information Center display. It will take
60 seconds after the bottle is refilled for this message
to turn
off. For information on the correct washer fluid
mixture to use, see “Windshield Washer Fluid” and
“Recommended Fluids and Lubricants’’ in the Index.
