Wipers and washers
The delay of the intermittent operation can
be adjusted to between 2 and 15 seconds.
Moving the control stalk to the
spring-loaded position between 0 and 2 will
produce a single sweep of the wipers.
The wipers are designed for optimal clean-
ing at all driving speeds. At higher speeds,
it may be possible to detect a slight "sweep-
ing" sound. This may be due to the
increased air pressure on the blades at
higher speeds.
Washers
When the washers are operated, the wipers
will make 3, 4 or 5 sweeps, depending on
how long the washers were kept on. If the
speed of the car is less than 12 mph
(20 km/h), the wipers will make an addi-
tional sweep after 9 seconds.
Headlamp wipers
The headlamp wipers will operate at the
same time as the windshield washers are
activated.
