The lever on the right side of the steering column controls the windshield wipers and washer.

Move the lever to one of the following positions:

MIST:  Move the lever to MIST, for a single wiping cycle. Hold it there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will stop after one wipe.

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

INT (Intermittent):  Move the lever to INT to choose a delayed wiping cycle. The time between wipes can be changed by turning the INT band. Turn the band forward or rearward for a longer or shorter delay interval. This position is useful in light rain or snow, rather than continuous wiping.

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

HI (High):  Move the lever to HI for steady wiping at high speed.

REAR:  Turn the end of the lever upward to LO or HI, to turn on the rear window wiper. The wiper does not work with the rear liftglass open.

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 the blades become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.

Heavy snow or ice can overload the wipers. A circuit breaker stops them until the motor cools. Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
