If the vehicle speeds up while the wipers are operating intermittently, the interval decreases by about four seconds. Also, when the vehicle starts moving, the wipers make a single sweep. In the shortest delay setting (
), the wipers
change to low speed operation when the vehicle speed exceeds 12 mph (20 km/h).
NOTICE Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged. Turn the washers off if no washer luid comes out. The pump may get damaged.
NOTICE In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the windshield, becoming stuck.Operating the wipers in this condition may damage the wipers. Use the defroster to warm the windshield, then turn the wipers on.
