Do not operate the windshield wipers
when the windshield is dry. Dust that
accumulates on a windshield might
scratch the glass and/or damage the
windshield wipers blades when wiping
occurs on a dry windshield. If it is nec-
essary to operate the windshield wip-
ers in dry weather conditions, always
operate the windshield wipers with
windshield washer fluid ( page 55).

Intermittent wiping
!
Do not leave windshield wipers in
intermittent setting when the vehicle is
taken to an automatic car wash or
during windshield cleaning. Windshield
wipers will operate in the presence of
water sprayed on the windshield, and
windshield wipers may be damaged as
a result.
Intermittent wiping interval is dependent
on wetness of windshield.
Turn the combination switch to
position I.
After the initial wipe, pauses between
wipes are automatically controlled by the
rain sensor.
