Wipers and washers
45
To activate the rain sensitive wipers, move the
wiper stalk to the rain sensor position and
adjust the rain sensor sensitivity control as
required. When rain sensitive wipers are
activated and when sensitivity is increased, a
single wipe will operate.
WINDSHIELD WASHERS
Some windshield wash products are
flammable; do not allow windshield wash to
come into contact with sources of ignition.
Only windshield wash products which are
approved for automotive use should be used,
and then only in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
To operate the wash/wipe press and release the
button on the end of the wiper stalk. The wipers
will perform five normal speed wipes, followed
by a drip wipe (if configured). The washers will
operate during the first two wipes.
If the washers are operated with the wipers
operating at normal or fast speed, the washer
jets will operate for two wipes and operation of
the wipers will not be affected.
Note: If the button is pressed and held, the
wipers and washers will operate at normal
speed until the button is released (or for a
maximum of 10 seconds).
After the button is released, the wipers will
operate for a further three wipes, followed by a
drip wipe (if configured).
TIMED JET FUNCTION
If the timed jet function is configured, the
washer jets will only operate on the up stroke
of the wipers.
DRIP WIPE
If the drip wipe function is configured, the
wipers will operate four seconds after a
wash/wipe cycle has finished, to clear any
remaining drips from the windshield.
HEADLAMP WASHERS
Headlamp power wash operates automatically
with the windshield wash, and will only operate
if the headlamps are switched on and there is
sufficient washer fluid in the reservoir.
Headlamp wash operates with every fourth
operation of the windshield washers, provided
that ten minutes have elapsed since the last
operation of the headlamp washers.
Note: The power wash sequence is reset when
the headlamps or the ignition are turned off.
Note: Headlamp power wash is inhibited when
the low washer fluid warning is on.
