Tailgate wiper/washer

The tailgate wiper operates at two speeds:
intermittent and continuous.
NOTE
The rear wiper is equipped with a cut-off
function, which means that it will not oper-
ate if its electric motor overheats. The
wiper will function again after a cool-down
period (30 seconds or longer, depending
on the heat of the motor and ambient tem-
perature conditions).
Tailgate wiper and reverse gear
If the windshield wipers are on and the trans-
mission is put into reverse gear, the tailgate
wiper will go into intermittent wiping func-
18
tion . This function is deactivated when a dif-
ferent gear is selected.
NOTE
On vehicles with the optional rain sensor,
the tailgate wiper will be activated when
reverse is selected, if the rain sensor is
activated and it is raining.
If the tailgate wiper is in the normal (continu-
ous) wiping mode, selecting different gears
will not affect its function.
