Windscreen wiper switch
has three positions:
- 1. Intermittent operation («INT»)
- 2. Continuous mode with low speed («LOW»)
- 3. Continuous mode with high speed («HI»)
Note: To prevent damage to the wiper, do not attempt to remove thick layers of snow or ice from the glass with the wiper. Snow or ice in this amount should be removed manually. To remove a thin layer of snow or ice, turn on the interior heater to defrost the glass and do not turn on the wiper until the snow or ice has melted.
Switching on the windshield washer
To turn on the windshield washer, push the wiper/washer switch lever towards the steering wheel. When you turn on the washer, the wiper automatically turns on for two strokes of the brushes. The washer operates until the switch lever is released.
Note:
- Do not turn on the washer for more than 15 seconds and with an empty washer reservoir.
- Before turning on the windshield wiper in frosty weather, make sure that the wipers are not frozen to the glass.
- In areas with frosty winters, pour anti-freeze fluid into the washer reservoir in winter.
Adjusting the frequency of movement of the wiper blades in intermittent mode
To turn on the wiper in intermittent mode, set the switch to position «INT» («intermittent mode»). In this position, the interval between brush movements can be changed from 1 to 18 seconds by turning the interval drum switch to the appropriate position. The frequency of movement of the brushes also automatically changes depending on the speed of movement.
