Windshield wipers off

If the lever is in the 0 position and you move it upwards, the wipers will sweep one stroke at a time for as long as you hold the lever up.

Single sweep position

Move the lever slightly upward from the 0 position for one sweep of the wipers. The lever returns automatically to 0 when released.

Intermittent wiper function

With the lever in this position, you can set the wiper interval by twist- ing the control ring (1) upward to increase wiper speed or down- ward to decrease the speed.

Windshield washer/headlight washer (certain models)

When the lever is pulled to wash the wind- shield, high pressure jets mounted in the bumper will spray the headlights.

CAUTION

•Use ample washer fluid when washing the windshield to avoid scratching the glass. The windshield should be thor- oughly wet when the wipers are in oper- ation.

•Before using the wipers, ice and snow should be removed from the wind- shield/rear window. Be sure the wiper blades are not frozen in place.

•To conserve washer fluid in driving condi- tions where the windshield washers are used frequently, the headlights will only be washed once for every five times the wind- shield is washed within a 10-minute period.

•A short pull on the lever will wash the wind- shield only.

•When approximately 1 US quart (1 liter) remains in the washer fluid reservoir, the headlights will not be washed when the lever is pulled to conserve washer fluid for the windshield.
