Controlling the windshield wipers and washers in your vehicle is essential for maintaining visibility and ensuring safety while driving in adverse weather conditions. Understanding the functions of the wiper control lever can help you operate them effectively. Below is a comprehensive guide on how to use the windshield wipers and washers.
Using the wiper control lever, you can perform various functions:
- For intermittent operation, push the lever down to the first stop. You can adjust the wiper speed by rotating the ring.
- For continuous low-speed operation, push the lever down to the second stop.
- For continuous high-speed operation, push the lever down to the third stop.
- In mist or light rain, push the lever up to initiate a one-sweep operation of the wipers.
- To use the washer function, pull the lever towards you, and the washer fluid will spray while the wipers automatically sweep several times and then stop.
It’s important to note that the intermittent operating speeds of the wipers will vary based on your vehicle’s speed. At a higher vehicle speed, the intermittent operation will be faster to adapt to the conditions accordingly.
Always refer to your owner’s manual for important safety information, system limitations, and additional operating and feature details related to your specific vehicle.
