The windshield wipers wipe one time without washer fluid. Intermittent wiping Only switch on intermittent wiping under wet weather conditions or in the presence of precipitation. ! Vehicles with rain sensor*: Do not leave windshield wipers in intermittent setting when the 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 the windshield wipers may be damaged as a result. ! Vehicles with rain sensor*: If you have set intermittent wiping, dirt on the surface of the rain sensor or optical effects may cause the windshield wipers to wipe in an undesired fashion. This could then damage the windshield wiper blades or scratch the windows. You should therefore switch off the windshield wipers when weather conditions are dry. i When the windshield wipers are switched on and you brake the vehicle to a stop, the wipers operate more slowly. 118
