tion
Pulling the lever operates the wipers and
washer.
The wipers will automatically operate a
couple of times after the washer squirts.
(After operating several times, the wipers
operate once more time after a short delay
to prevent dripping. However, the dripping
prevention does not operate while the
vehicle is moving.)
