Windshield wipers

More information on the windshield wipers
can be found in the "Getting started" sec-
tion ( page 48).
i
Intermittent wiping is interrupted when
the vehicle is at a standstill and a door
is opened.
A rain sensor automatically controls the
windshield wipers depending on how wet
the windshield is.
Switch ignition on.
Set the wiper switch to position I
( page 49).
After the initial wipe, pauses between
wipes are automatically controlled by the
rain sensor.
!
Do not leave windshield wipers in inter-
mittent setting when the vehicle is tak-
en to an automatic car wash or during
windshield cleaning. Wipers will oper-
ate in the presence of water sprayed on
the windshield, and wipers may be
damaged as a result.
The switch should not be left in inter-
mittent setting as the wipers will wipe
the windshield once every time the en-
gine is started. Dust that accumulates
on the windshield might scratch the
glass and/or damage the wiper blades
when wiping occurs on a dry wind-
shield.
