Pic. 1.38. Three position wiper and windshield washer switch
The switch has three positions:
- intermittent mode;
- slow motion;
- fast movement.
Note. To prevent damage to the windshield wipers, do not attempt to clean heavy snow or ice deposits with them. Accumulated snow or ice must be cleared manually. If there is only a light layer of snow or ice, turn on the heater on the heated windshield and melt the snow or ice before using the wipers.
Windshield washer operation
Pic. 1.39. Windshield washer mode
Washer fluid will be applied to the windshield when the wiper/washer switch lever is moved towards the steering wheel. When you turn on the windshield washer at the same time as the washer fluid is supplied, the wipers will automatically make two strokes. The washer will stop working when the wiper/windshield washer switch is released.
Note. Do not operate the washer for more than 15 seconds or when the washer reservoir is empty.
Note. In cold weather, before using the wiper, make sure that the wiper blades are not frozen to the glass.
Note. In areas where water freezes in winter, use antifreeze windscreen washer fluid.
Defogging the windshield
