pendent on wetness of windshield.
Wiping will not occur with a door open.
!
Do not leave windshield wipers in inter-
mittent setting when the vehicle is tak-
en to an automatic car wash or during
windshield cleaning. Wipers will oper-
ate in the presence of water sprayed on
the windshield, and wipers may be
damaged as a result.
The switch should not be left in inter-
mittent setting as the wipers will wipe
the windshield once every time the en-
gine is started. Dust that accumulates
on the windshield might scratch the
glass and/or damage the wiper blades
when wiping occurs on a dry wind-
shield.
!
If anything blocks the windshield wip-
ers (leaves, snow, etc.), switch them off
immediately.
ț For safety reasons,
ț turn off the engine by turning
the SmartKey to position 0 and
