To turn the windshield wipers on, move the

lever down to one of the three operating

positions. In “INT” position, the wipers

operate intermittently. The “INT” position is

very convenient for driving in mist or light

rain. In “LO” position, the wipers operate at

a steady low speed. In “HI” position, the

wipers operate at a steady high speed. To

turn off the wipers, move the lever back to

“OFF” position.

NOTICE

To help prevent damage to the wind-

shield wiper and washer system

components, you should take the fol-

lowing precautions:

EXAMPLE

• Do not continue to hold in the lever

when there is no windshield

washer fluid being sprayed or the

washer motor can be damaged.

• Do not attempt to remove dirt from

a dry windshield with the wipers or

you can damage the windshield

and the wiper blades. Always wet

the windshield with washer fluid

before operating the wipers.

• Clear ice or packed snow from the

wiper blades before using the wip-

ers.

• Check the washer fluid level regu-

larly. Check it often when the

weather is bad.

To spray windshield washer fluid, pull the

lever toward you. The windshield wipers

will automatically turn on at low speed if

they are not already on and your vehicle is

equipped with “INT” position.

If the lever is equipped with “INT TIME”

control, turn the control knob forward or

backward to adjust the intermittent wiper

operation to the desired interval.

• Fill a reservoir to 3/4 level with

washer fluid for its expansion, if

temperature falls low enough to

freeze the fluid.

WARNING

• To prevent windshield icing in cold

weather, turn on the defroster to

heat the windshield before and

during windshield washer use.

• Do not use radiator antifreeze in

the windshield washer reservoir. It

can severely impair visibility when

sprayed on the windshield, and can

also damage your vehicle’s paint.
