HOLDEN WH II 2002 Series Owner's Handbook Manual page 27

The lever on the left of the steering wheel column controls the wipers and washers, which
operate when the ignition is turned to either ON or ACCESSORIES.
Wipers and washers
Never operate the wipers on dry glass, as
this will damage the rubber and scratch the
glass. To obtain a spray of fluid, pull the
lever towards you and hold as long as
required. This automatically turns on the
wipers for a short time, if not already
operating.
Push the lever down to turn on the wipers.
If just held gently down the wipers sweep
'intermittently': once every few seconds.
The wipers sweep intermittently as long as
the lever is held.
Pushing the lever further down, to the first
'stop' switches the wipers to the intermittent
position and allows the hand to be removed
from the lever.
Pushing the lever to the second 'stop' turns
the wipers to slow speed. Pushing the lever
further down, to the third stop, turns the
wipers to high speed.
Variable intermittent
The frequency of intermittent wipe can be
varied by moving the dial in the lever.
Rotate up for a more frequent wipe, or down
for a less frequent wipe.
In addition, the intermittent wipe speed is
road speed dependent, which means that
as the car speeds up, so do the wipers.
Refer Chapter 7 when topping up washer
fluid.
