will turn off. If you need the defogger for more than 20 minutes, press th
e switch again. This will add
20 more minutes.

 To ensure a clear rearward view, the wiper performs several continuous operationswhen the reverse gear is engaged and theswitch is in the “INT” position. Following this continuous operation, the wiper will automatically switch to intermit-tent operation.  It is possible to modify functions as follows: • Adjustment of the interval for intermittent operation • Changing intermittent
wiper operation to

using wipers and washers
CAUTION If the washer is used in cold weather, the washer fluid spraye
d onto the glass might
freeze, blocking your view. In cold weather, heat the glass with the
defroster before using
the washer.
NOTE
 Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. This could scratch the glass and wear thewiper blades prematurely.  Before using the wipe
rs in cold weather,
check to be sure that the wiper blades are notfrozen to the windshield. Using the wipers while the blades are frozen could cause the wiper motor to burn out.  If the wipers are left on the glass out of the parked position and they become blocked byice or other deposits on the glass, the motor may still burn out even
if the wiper switch is
OFF. If deposits form on the windshield,park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the electric motor switch, and clean the glass so that the wipers ca
n operate smoothly.
 Avoid using the washer for more than 20 sec- onds at a time. Do not operate the washerwhen the fluid reservoir is empty or the pump may fail.  During cold weather, add a recommended washer solution that will not freeze in the washer reservoir. Otherwise the washer maynot work or may be damaged.  Replace the wiper blades when they are worn. Use the proper size replacement blades. If you have questions, ask a certified i-MiEV dealer.
