Manual High Speed/Mist  
Pull the windshield wiper/washer lever toward the steer-  
ing wheel to activate the washers. The wipers will activate  
automatically for three cycles after the lever is released.  
Push the lever upward from the off position. The wipers

CAUTION!  
Rear Windshield Wiper  
Turn the windshield wipers off when driving  
through an automatic car wash. Damage to the wind-  
shield wipers may result if the wiper control is left in  
any position other than off.  
Rotate the end of the windshield wiper/washer lever  
upward to the first detent past the intermittent settings for  
intermittent wipe operation. With the front windshield  
wiper active, rotate the end of the windshield wiper/  
washer lever upward. The rear wiper will operate in the  
same mode as the front windshield wipers, but at half the  
frequency. When the transmission is shifted into REVERSE,  
the rear wiper will automatically operate at low speed and  
return to normal operation when the transmission is  
shifted out of REVERSE.  
In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and  
allow the wipers to return to the park position before  
turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left on  
and the wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the  
wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is restarted.  
Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents  
the windshield wiper blades from returning to the  
off position. If the windshield wiper control is  
turned off and the blades cannot return to the off  
position, damage to the wiper motor may occur.
