Windscreen wiper and washer switch (Hyundai Elantra XD)

Windshield wiper switch

has three positions:

• 1. Intermittent operation mode ("INT")
• 2. Continuous mode with low speed ("LOW")
• 3. Continuous mode with high speed ("HI")

Note: To avoid damaging the windshield wiper, do not attempt to remove a thick layer of snow or ice from the glass using the wiper. Snow or ice in this quantity must be removed manually. To remove a thin layer of snow or ice, turn on the interior heater to blow air onto the glass and do not turn on the windshield wipers until the snow or ice has melted.

Turning on the windshield washer

To turn on the windshield washer, press the wiper/washer switch lever towards the steering wheel. When the washer is turned on, the windshield wiper is automatically turned on for two strokes of the brushes. The washer operates until the switch lever is released.

Note:

• Do not operate the washer for more than 15 seconds or when the washer reservoir is empty.
• Before turning on the windshield wiper in freezing weather, make sure that the blades are not frozen to the glass.
• In areas with frosty winters, fill the washer reservoir with antifreeze during the winter.

Adjusting the frequency of the wiper blades in intermittent mode

To turn on the wiper in intermittent mode, set the switch to the "INT" position ("Intermittent mode"). In this position, the interval between brush movements can be changed from 1 to 18 seconds by turning the drum interval switch to the appropriate position. The frequency of brush movement also changes automatically depending on the speed of movement.

The duration of continuous operation of the washer should not exceed 15 seconds. Do not turn on the washer if there is no liquid in its reservoir: the system may fail. Do not allow the cleaner to operate on dry glass: this will cause scratches on the glass and accelerate wear of the brushes.

Therefore, do not turn on the cleaner when the tank is empty.
