shield. After the initial wipe, pauses
between wipes are controlled by the
rain sensor.
Wiping will not occur with a door open.
Getting started
!
Do not leave windshield wipers in inter-
mittent setting when vehicle is taken to
an automatic car wash or during wind-
shield cleaning. Wipers will operate in
the presence of water sprayed on the
windshield, and wipers may be dam-
aged as a result.
The combination switch should not be
left in intermittent setting as the wipers
will wipe the windshield once every
time the engine is started. Dust that ac-
cumulates on the windshield might
scratch the glass and/or damage the
wiper blades when wiping occurs on a
dry windshield.
Intermittent wiping
Set the combination switch to
position I.
i
Intermittent wiping is suspended when
the vehicle is at a standstill and a door
is opened.
