Wipers And Washers - Saab 2006 9-5 Owner's Manual

Wipers and washers

There are three intermittent wiper positions.
Moving the control stalk to the
spring-loaded position between 0 and 2 will
produce a single sweep of the wipers.
The wipers are designed for optimal clean-
ing at all driving speeds. At higher speeds,
it may be possible to detect a slight "sweep-
ing" sound. This may be due to the
increased air pressure on the blades at
higher speeds.
Headlight washers 1 1 1 1
If low beam is on, the headlights are washed
every fifth time the windshield washers are
used or if 2 minutes have elapsed since the
windshield was last washed. The headlight
washers cannot be activated separately.
The headlight washers are of the high-pres-
sure type, which means that other parts of
the car may become wet if you activate the
washers while the car is stationary.

NOTICE
To avoid damaging the windshield wip-
ers, turn the rain sensor off before wash-
ing the car in an automatic carwash.
The rain sensor automatically controls the
windshield wipers. The sensor is located on
the windshield beside the rearview mirror.
The system varies between single sweeps
of the windshield and continuous wiping
depending on how much water or snow
there is on the windshield.
