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