The windshield wiper stops working three
strokes after the stalk is released,
followed by a final stroke six seconds
later to complete the cycle.
Mist
Use this feature when weather
conditions make occasional usage of the
wipers necessary. Push the stalk upward
to the MIST position and release for a
single wiping cycle. This function is useful
to remove small deposits of dust from
the windshield or morning dew.
Note:
This function does not activate the
windshield washer. To spray windshield
washer fluid onto the windshield, the
washing function must be used.
Warning!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You
might not see other vehicles or other
obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm
the windshield with the defroster before and
during windshield washer use.
Rain Sensor
The Rain Sensor feature senses moisture
on the windshield and automatically
activates the wipers for the driver. The
feature is especially useful for road
splash or over spray from the windshield
washers of the vehicle ahead.
Activation/Deactivation
Rotating the wiper switch to position
or activates the rain sensor.
The activation of the rain sensor system
is done by tapping the wiper stalk
upwards while the switch is in the
position.
To deactivate the system, use the wiper
switch or cycle the ignition to STOP mode.
If the ignition is cycled to STOP mode,
and the wiper switch is left in the
position, no wiping cycle will occur
even if it rains when the vehicle is next
started (ignition in ON mode).
Rear Window Wiper/Washer
Shifting the vehicle into REVERSE with
the windshield wiper operating, activates
a single cycle of the rear window wiper.
Activation of the rear window
wiper/washer can be done by moving the
stalk to one of the following positions:
Pushing the stalk towards the
instrument panel activates the rear
window washer (a brief push activates
one washing cycle, keeping the stalk
pushed washes continuously until the
stalk is released).
Pushing the stalk downward
activates/deactivates continuous rear
wiper operation.
