The wipers are partially hidden behind
the hood. To bring the wipers up into
their vertical position (important when
changing the blades, or folding up
when frost is expected):
Switch on the wipers and switch off the
ignition when the wipers are approxi-
mately vertical.
Fold the wipers down onto the
windshield before turning on the
ignition key. Failure to do this could re-
sult in damage to the wiper/washer sys-
tem and hood.<
1 Intermittent wipe
The length of the interval is varied auto-
matically according to the car's actual
road speed.
2 Normal wiper speed
The wipers automatically revert to inter-
mittent operation when the vehicle is
stationary.
3 Fast wiper speed
When the vehicle is stationary, the sys-
tem does not switch to a lower wiper
speed.
4 Brief wipe
The wipers move once across the wind-
shield.
5 Automatic windshield washer
The system sprays washer fluid against
the windshield and activates the wipers
for a brief period.
If you only pull the lever briefly, the sys-
tem sprays washer fluid onto the wind-
shield without activating the wipers.
