operator is in the vehicle and has placed the
ignition switch in the RUN position, rain sensing
wiper operation can resume, if it has been
selected, and no other inhibit conditions (men-
tioned previously) exist.

Rear Window Wiper/Washer

the windshield wiper/washer lever on the right
side of the steering column. The rear wiper/
washer is operated by rotating a switch, located
at the middle of the lever.

Rear Wiper/Washer Control
Rotate the center portion of the lever
upward to the first detent for intermit-
tent operation and to the second detent
for continuous rear wiper operation.
To use the washer, push the lever
forward and hold while spray is
desired. If the lever is pushed while
in the intermittent setting, the wiper
will turn on and operate for several
wipe cycles after the end of the lever is re-
leased, and then resume the intermittent interval
previously selected.
If the lever is pushed while the wiper is in the off
position, the wiper will operate for several wipe
cycles, then turn off.
NOTE:
As a protective measure, the pump will stop if
the switch is held for more than 20 seconds.
Once the lever is released the pump will resume
normal operation.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is
turned OFF, the wiper will automatically return to
the "park" position.
