Windshield wipers For more information on the windshield wipers, see "Windshield wipers" ( page 54). ! Do not leave windshield wipers in intermittent setting when vehicle is taken to an automatic car wash or during windshield cleaning. Wipers will operate in the presence of water sprayed on the windshield, and wipers may be damaged as a result. The switch should not be left in intermittent setting as the wipers will wipe the windshield once every time the engine is started. Dust that accumulates on the windshield might scratch the glass and/or damage the wiper blades when wiping occurs on a dry windshield. i Intermittent wiping is interrupted when the vehicle is at a standstill and a door is opened. A rain sensor automatically controls the windshield wipers depending on how wet the windshield is. Switch on ignition ( page 34). Set wiper switch to position I ( page 54). After the initial wipe, pauses between wipes are automatically controlled by the rain sensor. !
