wiper will operate once to perform a self-
check of the system. Set the wiper to the
"OFF" position when the wiper is not in use.NOTE:If there is heavy accumulation of snow or
ice on the windshield glass, there will be
a 10 minute waiting period prior to the
operation of the automatic windshield
wipers system.
