Wiper Controls
The wipers are operated by a rotary switch on the
turn signal lever. There are five settings: off, two
intermittent settings, and two continuous speeds.
Symbols mark each setting on the dial.
Turn the wipers on by rotating the rotary switch up.
Rotate the switch further to increase the speed of the
wipers through the two intermittent settings, then to
continuous low and high speeds. Rotate the switch
down to slow the wipers down. Rotate the switch as
far down as it will go to turn the wipers off.
The default speeds for the two intermittent settings
are 6 seconds and 1 second.
The first intermittent setting of 6 seconds is
programmable from 1 to 25 seconds. To program the
interval, rotate the switch from the first intermittent
position to the OFF position, wait for the desired
interval between wipes to lapse (between 1 and 25
seconds), and then move the switch back to the first
intermittent position. If the switch is kept in the OFF
position for more than 50 seconds, the interval
changes back to the default of 6 seconds.
The second intermittent setting has an interval of 1
second, and is not programmable.
NOTE: Some vehicles may have a feature that
automatically turns on the headlights if the
windshield wipers are on and the vehicle is
moving faster than 10 mph (16 km/h). At speeds
between 10 and 40 mph (16 to 64 km/h),
cycling the headlight switch will turn the
headlights off.
Wipers and the Rain/Light Sensor
If the vehicle is equipped with a rain/light sensor
shown in Fig. 4.4, and the wiper switch is in set to
an intermittent setting, the wipers will start when the
sensor detects rain or snow.
If the vehicle is moving faster than 40 mph (64 km/h)
the wiper speed will automatically increase and
decrease, dependent upon how much moisture
builds up on the windshield between wipes.
If the wiper switch is set to a continuous speed (low
or high), input from the rain/light sensor is ignored.
The behavior of the wipers based on the rain/light
sensor input is independent of the headlamp switch
position.
NOTE: If a rain/light sensor is installed in the
MPC2 bracket, the lens area of the camera will
