Windshield Wipers

The windshield wipers are controlled by turning the
band marked WIPER.

For a single wiping cycle, turn the band to MIST. Hold
it there until the wipers start, then let go. The wipers will
stop after one cycle. If you want more cycles, hold the
band on MIST longer.

For steady wiping at low speed, turn the band away
from you to the LO position. For high

-

speed wiping,

turn the band further, to HI. To stop the wipers, turn 
the band to OFF.

The wiper speed may be set for a long or short delay
between wipes. This can be very useful in light rain 
or snow. Turn the band to choose the delay time. 
The closer to LO, the shorter the delay.

Heavy snow or ice can overload your wiper motor. 
A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. 
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.

Keep in mind that damaged wiper blades may prevent
you from seeing well enough to drive safely. To avoid
damage, be sure to clear ice and snow from the wiper
blades before using them. If your blades do become
damaged, get new blades or blade inserts.

If your windshield wipers are on for more than 
six seconds while you are driving, the low
