The wipers are partially hidden behind
the hood. To bring the wipers up into
their vertical position (important when
changing the blades, or folding up
when frost is expected):
Switch on the wipers and switch off the
ignition when the wipers are approxi-
mately vertical.
Fold the wipers down onto the
windshield before turning on the
ignition key. Failure to do this could
result in damage to the wiper/washer
system and hood.
<
1 Intermittent operation
The length of the interval is varied auto-
matically according to the vehicle's
actual road speed.
2 Normal wipe
The wipers automatically revert to inter-
mittent operation when the vehicle is
stationary.
3 Fast wipe
When the vehicle is stationary, the
system does not switch to a lower
wiper speed.
4 Brief wipe
The wipers move once across the wind-
shield.
5 Cleaning the windshield
The system sprays washer fluid against
the windshield and activates the wipers
for a brief period.
If you only pull the lever briefly, the
system sprays washer fluid onto the
windshield without activating the
wipers.
