WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHERS  
The wipers and washers are operated by a switch within  
the multifunction lever. Rotate the end of the multifunc-  
tion lever to select the desired wiper speed.  
NOTE: Always remove any buildup of snow that pre-  
vents the windshield wiper blades from returning to the  
off position. If the windshield wiper switch is turned off  
and the blades cannot return to the off position, damage  
to the wiper motor may occur.
