The windshield wiper lever is located on the right side of the steering column.

Turn to the following positions to control the wipers:

(OFF) : Turns off the wipers.

- - - (Intermittent): Delays the wiper speed. After selecting the intermittent setting the wiper speed can also be set. See the following text for more information.

Turn this band on the windshield wiper lever to set the delay time between wipes. The closer to the top of the lever, the shorter the delay.

(LO) : For low speed wiping.

(HI): For high speed wiping.

Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using them. If the wipers are frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If they become worn or damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. For more information, see Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement .

The windshield wiper motor is protected from overload by a circuit breaker and a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy snow or ice, the wiper will stop until the motor cools. Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to heavy snow or ice may cause wiper linkage damage.
