Windshield Wipers
You control the windshield
wipers by turning the band
marked
WIPER. For a
singl’e wipi.ng cycle, turn the
band
to MIST. Hold it there
until the wipers,&ut, 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 to LO. For
high-speed wiping,
turn the band furtber, to HI. To stop
the wipers,
turn the band to OFF.
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.
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
I
snow or ice to prevent an overload.
Windshield Washer
At the top of the
multifunction lever, there’s
a paddle with the word
PUSH on it. To spray
washer fluid on the
windshield, push the paddle.
The wipers will run for
several sweeps and then
either stop or return
to your
preset speed.

3 Once you are m,oving on the freeway, make certain you
allow a reasonable following distance. Expect to move
slightly slower at night.
When you want to leave the freeway, move to the proper
lane well in advance.
If you-miss your exit do not, under
any circumstances, stop and back up. Drive on to the
next exit.
The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply.
The exit speed is usually. posted.
Reduce your speed according to your speedometer, not
to your sense of motion. After driving for any distance
at higher speeds, you may tend to think you are going
slower’than you actually are.
Before Leaving on a Long- Trip
Make sure you’re ready. Try to be well rested. If you
must
start when you’re not fresh -- such as after a day’s
work
.-- don’t plan to make too many miles that first part
of the journey. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes you
can easily drive in. Is your vehicle ready
for a long trip? If you keep it
serviced and maintained, it’s ready to go.
If it needs
service, have it done before starting out. Of course,
you’ll find experienced and able service experts in
Oldsmobile retailers all across North America. They’ll
be ready and willing to help
if you need it.
Here are some things you can check before a trip:

all windows clean inside and outside?

all levels?
,

Tires: They are vitally important to a safe,
trouble-free trip. Is the tread gaod enough for
long-distance driving? Are the tires all inflated to the
recommended pressure?
Weather Forecasts: What’s the weather outlook
along your route? Should you delay your trip a short
time‘to avoid a major
storm system?

,

Glass
Glass should be cleaned often. GM Glass Cleaner
(GM Part No. 1050427) or a liquid household glass
cleaner will remove normal tobacco smoke and dust
films.
Don’t use abrasive’ cleaners on glass, because they may
cause scratches. Avoid placing decals
on the inside rear
window, since they may have to be scraped
off later. If
abrasive cleaners are used on the inside of the rear
window, an electric defogger element may be damaged.
Any temporary license should not.~be attached across the
defogger grid.
Cleaning the Outside of the
Windshield and Wiper Blades
If the windshield is not clear after using the windshield
washer, or if the wiper blade chatters when running, wax
or other material may be on ’the blade or windshield.
Clean the outside of the windshield with
GM
Windshield Cleaner, Bon-Ami Powder@ (GM Part
No. 10500 11). The windshield is clean if beads do not
form when you rinse it with water.
Clean the blade by wiping vigorously with a cloth soaked in full strength winqshield washer solvent. Then
rinse the blade with water.
Wiper blades should be checked
on a regular basis and
replaced when worn..
Weatherstrips
..
Silicone grease on ,weatherstrips will make them last
longer, seal better, and not stick or squeak. Apply
silicone grease with a clean cloth at least every six
months. During very cold, damp weather
more frequent
application may be required. (See “Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index.)
