The INTº band lets you adjust the wiping
time interval when the wiper lever is in
the intermittent position (position 1). Twist
the band upward to increase the time be-
tween sweeps, and downward to decrease
it.
To squirt washer fluid, pull the lever
toward you.
If the windshield wipers are off, they will
operate a couple of times after the washer
squirts.
For instructions on adding washer fluid,
see Adding washer fluidº on page 303 in
Section 7- 3.
In freezing weather, warm the windshield
with the defroster before using the washer.

from freezing on your windshield, which
can block your vision.

To turn on the rear window wiper, twist
the lever knob upward.
The key must be in the ONº position.
