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.
