The intermittent wiping interval de-
pends on the wetness of the wind-
shield. Wiping will not occur with a
front door open.
!
Do not leave in intermittent setting
when vehicle is taken to an automatic
car wash or during windshield cleaning.
Wipers will operate in the presence of
water sprayed on the windshield, and
wipers may be damaged as a result.
The switch should not be left in
intermittent setting as the wipers will
wipe the windshield once every time
the engine is started. Dust that accu-
mulates on the windshield might
scratch the glass when wiping occurs
on a dry windshield.
