8 (Mist): Move the lever all the way down to this position for a single wiping cycle. Hold it there until the windshield wipers start; then let go. The windshield wipers will stop after one wiping cycle. If you want additional wiping cycles, hold the lever down longer. 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 the wiper blades are frozen to the windshield, carefully loosen or thaw them. If your blades do become damaged, get new blades or blade inserts. 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. If the motor gets stuck, turn the wipers off, clear away the snow or ice, and then turn the wipers back on. As an added safety feature, if the wipers are on for more than 15 seconds, the vehicle's headlamps will turn on automatically. They will turn off 15 seconds after the wipers are turned off. Windshield Washer To wash the windshield, press the button at the end of the lever until the washers begin. {CAUTION: In freezing weather, do not use your washer until the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking your vision. When you release the button, the washers will stop, but the wipers will continue to wipe about three times or will resume the previous speed. 114
