WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
CAUTION!
• Turn the windshield wipers off when driving through an automatic car wash.Damage to the windshield wipers may result if the wiper control is left in any
position other than off.
• In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and allow the wipers to return
to the “Park” position before turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left
on and the wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the wiper motor may
occur when the vehicle is restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the windshield wiper blades
from returning to the off position. If the windshield wiper control is turned off
and the blades cannot return to the off position, damage to the wiper motor
may occur.
Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever upward to the second detent past the intermittent settings
for low-speed wiper operation. Rotate the end of the lever upward to the third detent
past the intermittent settings for high-speed wiper operation.
Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions make a single wiping cycle, with
a variable pause between cycles, desirable. Select the delay interval by turning the
end of the lever. Rotate the end of the lever upward (clockwise) to decrease the delay
time and downward (counterclockwise) to increase the delay time. The delay can be
regulated from a maximum of approximately 18 seconds between cycles, to a cycle
every second.
Wiper/Washer Lever
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
32

NOTE:
The wiper delay times depend on vehicle speed. If the vehicle is moving less than
10 mph (16 km/h), delay times will be doubled.
Windshield Washers
To use the washer, pull the control lever toward you and hold while spray is desired.
If the lever is pulled while in the delay range, the wiper will operate in low-speed
while the lever is pulled and for two wipe cycles after the lever is released, and then
resume the intermittent interval previously selected.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the wipers will operate for two wipe
cycles, then turn off.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could lead to a collision. You
might not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before
and during windshield washer use.
Headlights On With Wipers (Available With Automatic Headlights Only)
When this feature is active, the headlights will turn on approximately 10 seconds
after the wipers are turned on if the headlight switch is placed in the AUTO position.
In addition, the headlights will turn off when the wipers are turned off if they were
turned on by this feature.
NOTE:
The Headlights On with Wipers feature can be turned on or off using the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” on the DVD for further informa-
tion.
Mist Feature
Push down on the control lever to activate a single wipe to clear the windshield of
road mist or spray from a passing vehicle. As long as the lever is held down, the wipers
will continue to operate.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will
be sprayed on the windshield. The wash function must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.
