Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever upward to the second detent
past the intermittent settings for low-speed wiper opera-
tion. Rotate the end of the lever upward to the third detent
past the intermittent settings for high-speed wiper opera-
tion.
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.
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 previ-
ously selected.
If the lever is pulled while in the off position, the wipers
will operate for two wipe cycles, then turn off.
