Courtesy Wipe Feature
One extra wipe will happen a few seconds after washing the front
window to clear any water that is dripping down from the top of the
windshield caused by the washing.

level frequently. Do not operate the wipers when the windshield is dry.

motor to burn out. Before operating the wiper on a dry windshield,
always use the windshield washer. In freezing weather, be sure the wiper
blades are not frozen to the windshield before operating the wipers.
