Models with intermittent time adjustment ring
If the vehicle speeds up while the wipers are
operating intermittently, the length of the wipe
interval shortens. When the vehicle starts moving,
the wipers make a single sweep.
When the vehicle speeds up, the wiper operation's
shortest delay setting ( ) and the LO setting become
the same.
If the wipers stop operating due to any obstacle such
as the build-up of snow, park the vehicle in a safe
place. Rotate the wiper switch to OFF, and turn the
ignition switch to ACCESSORY
then remove the obstacle.
