Intermittent wiping
Intermittent wiping interval is dependent
on wetness of windshield.
̈ Set the wiper switch to position I.
After the initial wipe, pauses between
wipes are automatically controlled by
the rain sensor.
!
Do not operate the wipers when the
windshield is dry. Dust that accumu-
lates on a windshield might scratch the
glass and/or damage the wiper blades
when wiping occurs on a dry wind-
shield. If it is necessary to operate the
wipers in dry weather conditions, al-
ways operate the wipers with wind-
shield washer fluid (
୴ page 55).
!
Do not leave windshield wipers in
intermittent setting when the 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.
i
Intermittent wiping is interrupted when
the vehicle is at a standstill and a front
door is opened.
