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

INT (Intermittent): Turn the lever to this position to choose a delayed wiping cycle. Turn the center band on the windshield wiper lever toward LO for a longer delay or toward HI for a shorter delay. The wiper speed can only be adjusted when the lever is in the INT position.

Misting Function

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

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 the wiper blades are frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen them or warm the windshield before turning the wipers on. If your blades do become worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.

Heavy snow or ice can overload the wipers. If this occurs, a circuit A circuit breaker breaker will stop the wipers until the wiper motor cools. So, be sure to clear any snow or ice from the windshield wiper blades before using them.
