Intermittent wiping
!
Vehicles with rain sensor*:
Do not leave windshield wipers in inter-
mittent setting when vehicle is taken to
an automatic car wash or during wind-
shield cleaning. Windshield wipers will
operate in the presence of water
sprayed on the windshield, and wind-
shield wipers may be damaged as a
result.
Vehicles with rain sensor*:
Intermittent wiping interval is dependent
on wetness of windshield.
Turn the combination switch to
position I.
Vehicles with rain sensor*:
After the initial wipe, pauses between
wipes are automatically controlled by
the rain sensor.
i
Intermittent wiping is interrupted when
the vehicle is at a standstill and a door
is opened. This helps to avoid people
being sprayed with water from wiper
action when getting into and out of the
vehicle.
Intermittent wiping will be continued
when
all doors are closed
and
the clutch pedal is depressed (vehi-
cles with manual transmission)
or
the gear selector lever is in
position D or R (vehicles with auto-
matic transmission*)
or
the wiper setting is changed using
the combination switch
