0 Wipers retractedThe 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 operationThe length of the interval is varied auto-
matically according to the vehicle's
actual road speed.2 Normal wipeThe wipers automatically revert to inter-
mittent operation when the vehicle is
stationary.
3 Fast wipeWhen the vehicle is stationary, the
system does not switch to a lower
wiper speed.4 Brief wipeThe wipers move once across the wind-
shield.5 Cleaning the windshieldThe 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.
