is from the OFF position, the faster the wipers move.

This feature compensates for the extra moisture that
accumulates on your windshield at higher speeds during rain.
At higher speeds, the Speed Dependent feature shortens the
delay between wipes when you use the variable interval wipers.
Delay will automatically adjust at speeds between 10 and
65 mph (16 and 105 km/h).

flashers will work for up to two hours when the battery is fully
charged and in good condition. They will not drain the battery
excessively. If the flashers run for longer than two hours or if
your battery is not fully charged, your battery may be drained
to the point where the vehicle will not start.
