Use this lever located on the right side of the steering wheel to operate the windshield wipers. The ignition must be turned to ON to operate the windshield wipers.

HI (High Speed): Move the lever to this position for wiping at high speed.

LO (Low Speed): Move the lever to this position for steady wiping at low speed.

INT (Intermittent): Move the lever to this position to choose a delayed wiping cycle.

OFF: Move the lever to this position to turn off the windshield wipers.

Misting Function

Move the lever toward INT for a single wiping cycle. Hold it there until the windshield wipers start; then let go. The windshield wipers will stop after one wipe. If you want more wipes, hold the band toward INT longer.

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 are 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 wiper motor. A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
