Wiper Operation
The windshield wipers and washers can be used when the vehicle is on.
Front Wipers
Move the wiper lever up or down to the desired
position.
Headlight-Wiper Integration*When the headlights are in the AUTO position,
they automatically turn on when the front
wipers operate several times within a certain
interval. The headlights turn off shortly after
the wipers are turned off, or if there is enough
ambient light.
Intermittent Wipers
When you move the lever to the INT position, 
the wipers operate based on the wiper delay.
Adjust the wiper delay using the adjustment ring.
Rear WiperWhen you shift to Reverse (R) and the front
wipers are activated, the rear wiper activates
even if the switch is off.

Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get 
scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged.
In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the windshield, becoming stuck. 
Operating the wipers in this condition may damage the wipers. Use the de\
froster
to warm the windshield, or manually clear the windshield of ice and snow
before turning on the wipers.
