If the windshield wipers are switched on
and you stop the vehicle, the windshield
wiper speed is reduced. For example, if you
have selected level II and stop the vehicle,
wiping continues with intermittent wipe
while the vehicle is stationary. If intermit-
tent wipe is selected, the intervals become
longer.
Vehicles with a rain and light sensor:
you can use level I as the universal setting.
The rain and light sensor sets the appropri-
ate wiping frequency automatically,
according to the intensity of the rain. When
you stop the vehicle, levels III and II are
switched down to level I automatically.
The windshield wiper will return to the orig-
inal level when you drive faster than 5 mph
(8 km/h).
You can adjust the sensitivity of the rain and
light sensor using the on-board computer
( page 197).
