WIPERS AND WASHERS
CAUTION: Do not operate the wipers
on a dry windshield.
CAUTION: In freezing or very hot
temperatures, ensure that the wiper
blades are not frozen or adhered to the
windshield before operating.
CAUTION: In winter, remove any
snow or ice from the windshield, wiper
arms and blades before operating.
The wipers and washers are controlled by
the right-hand steering column lever.
With the vehicle in Accessory or Drive
mode, move the lever up or down to select
the required wiper mode.
1. Single wipe
2. Off
3. Intermittent wipe mode
4. Normal speed operation
5. High speed operation
INTERMITTENT WIPE
With the wiper control in position 3, rotate
the collar clockwise to increase the interval
between wipes. Rotate the collar
counterclockwise to decrease the interval
between wipes.
AUTOMATIC WIPER
The user can program the wipers to
function intermittently or automatically
through the CIU under Settings.
Position the rotary switch collar to the
sensitivity level to activate the Automatic

be automatically activated.
