For a single wiping cycle, move the lever down to MIST. Hold it there until the wipers start, then release it. The wipers will stop after one cycle. If you want more cycles, hold the lever on MIST longer. For steady wiping at low speed, move the lever up to the LO position. For high-speed wiping, move the lever up further, to HI. To stop the wipers, move the lever to OFF. You can set the wiper speed for a long or short delay between wiper cycles. Move the lever up to the first detent, INT (Intermittent). Turn the band labeled INT ADJ (Intermittent Adjustment) down toward the shorter lines for fewer wiper passes per minute. As you turn the band toward the longer lines, the wiper cycles per minute will increase. Remember that damaged wiper blades may prevent you from seeing well enough to drive safely.
