Buick Encore: Controls / Windshield Wiper/Washer

The windshield wiper/washer lever is on the
right side of the steering column.
Move the lever to one of the following
positions:
HI : Use for fast wipes.
LO : Use for slow wipes.

INT : Use this setting for intermittent wipes
or Rainsense™, if equipped. For intermittent
wipes, move the windshield wiper lever to
INT. Turn the
INT band up for more
frequent wipes or down for less frequent
wipes.
If equipped with Rainsense wipes, see
“Rainsense” later in this section.
OFF : Use to turn the wipers off.
1X : For a single wipe, briefly move the
wiper lever down. For several wipes, hold
the wiper lever down.

lever toward
you to spray windshield washer fluid and
activate the wipers. The wipers will continue
until the lever is released or the maximum
wash time is reached. When the windshield
wiper lever is released, additional wipes may
occur depending on how long the windshield
washer had been activated. See Washer
Fluid for information on filling the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
