Speed dependent wipers
(if equipped)
This feature operates only in the
intermittent wiping mode. In
position one (slowest delay) this
feature will not function. At higher

feature shortens the delay between
wipes when you use the variable
interval wipers. Delay will

accumulates on your windshield at
