Wipers and washers WIPER OPERATION
1. Rotate control to adjust sensitivity.
2. Fast speed wipe.
3. Normal speed wipe.
4. Rain sensor activated wipe.
5. Windshield washer button.
6. Single wipe.
Do not operate the wipers on a dry windshield.
In freezing or very hot conditions, ensure that
the wipers have not stuck to the windshield
before operating.
Remove any snow, ice or frost from the
windshield, around the wiper arms and blades,
and the screen scuttle, before operating the
wipers.
Note: If the wiper blades become stuck or
jammed, an electronic cut-out may temporarily
halt wiper operation. If this happens, switch off
the wipers and the ignition. Clear any
obstructions and free the wiper blades, before
attempting to switch on the ignition.
SPEED-DEPENDENT MODE
If vehicle speed drops below 1.2 mph (2 km/h)
with the wipers operating, the wiper frequency
automatically reduces. The wipers will switch
to the next lowest speed. When vehicle speed
increases to over 5 mph (8 km/h), the original
wiper speed settings are restored.
RAIN SENSOR
Ensure that the wipers are switched off before
entering a car wash. If the rain sensitive wipers
operate during the car washing process
damage may occur to the wiper mechanism.
The rain sensor is able to detect the presence
and amount of rain, dirt or snow on the
windshield and automatically activates the
windshield wipers accordingly. Static droplets
may not be detected on initial start-up, use a
single wipe to clear the screen.
