Pulse Windshield. Wipers
You control the windshield wipers by
turning the band marked
WIPER.
For a single wiping cycle, turn the band
to
MIST. Hold it there until the wipers
start, then let go. The wipers will stop
after one cycle. If you want more cycles,
hold the band on
MIST longer.
For steady wiping at low speed, turn the
band away from you to the
LO position.
For high-speed wiping, turn the band
further, to
HI. To stop the wipers, move
the band to
OFF.
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.
A circuit breaker will stop them
until the motor cools. Clear away snow
or ice to prevent an overload.
You can set the wiper speed for a long
or short delay between wipes. This can
be very useful
in light rain or snow.
Turn the band to choose the delay time.
The closer to
LO, the shorter the delay.
