Driving
When the windshield wipers are not
being used, they retract to below the
hood. To enable the windshield wipers
to be lifted when parking in cold condi-
tions or when replacing a windshield
wiper insert, change the rest position of
the windshield wipers to the service
position using the wiper lever.
■
Raising the wipers to the service
position
Within approximately 45 seconds of
turning the power switch off, move the
wiper lever to the (U.S.A.) or
(Canada) position and hold it for
approximately 2 seconds or more.
The wipers will move to the service posi-
tion.
■
Lifting the windshield wipers
While holding the hook portion of
the wiper arm, lift the windshield wiper
from the windshield.
■ Lowering the windshield wipers to the
retracted position
With the windshield wipers placed on the
windshield, turn the power switch to ON
mode and then move the wiper lever to an
operating position. When the wiper switch
is turned off, the windshield wipers will stop
at the retracted position. Even if the wipers
deviate while the power switch is off, the
wipers will return to the normal position.
