For the intermittent wipe:
Note
The wiper will try to wipe away any obstacles that are on the windscreen.
The wiper will stop moving if the obstacle blocks its path. Remove the ob-
stacle and switch the wiper back on again.
The activated position provisionally changes
to the previous position.
The intervals of the intermittent wipe depend
upon vehicle speed. The higher the vehicle
speed the shorter the intervals.
