Wipers and Washers
WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Caution: Do not operate the windshield
wipers on a dry screen. The drag on the
wiper mechanism may cause damage.
Caution: In freezing, or very hot
conditions ensure that the wipers have
not stuck to the windshield before
operating. The drag on the wiper
mechanism may cause damage.
Caution: Remove any snow, ice, or
frost from the windshield, around the
wiper arms and blades and the screen
scuttle before operating the wipers.
Snow and ice can cause damage to the
wiper mechanism if left uncleared.
The windshield wipers and screen wash
functions are controlled by the right-hand
column stalk switch and only operate with
the ignition in position II.
Moving the stalk up or down operates or
turns off the windshield wipers.
The stalk functions are as follows:
• Position (1):
The windshield wipers are OFF and
parked.
• First position (2):
Intermittent wipe.
• Second position (3):
Slow speed wiper operation.
• Third position (4):
High speed wiper operation.
Intermittent wipe
When intermittent wipe is selected the
delay between wipes can be varied. Turn
the collar to vary the delay from 2 seconds
to 20 seconds.
Flick wipe
Pull the column switch towards the
steering wheel for a single wipe. Holding
the column switch in this position will
operate the wiper continuously at slow
speed until released.
Rain sensitive wiper control
When AUTO, (turn the rotary collar to
AUTO) and intermittent wipe are selected,
the wipers will automatically operate to
clear the windshield when rain falls on to
the windshield, or when moisture is
present.
For the wipers to operate, the ignition
switch must be in position II.
Note: When starting a journey with a wet
windshield, the rain sensing wipers will
not operate immediately the ignition is
switched on. Therefore, a flick wipe
should be used to clear the windshield of
any moisture.
Caution:
Ensure that AUTO is not selected when
entering a car wash or damage to the
wiper blades/arms can occur.
