Intermittent wiping !
Do not operate the windshield wipers
when the windshield is dry. Dust that
accumulates on a windshield might
scratch the glass and/or damage the
wiper blades when wiping occurs on a
dry windshield. If it is necessary to op-
erate the windshield wipers in dry
weather conditions, always operate the
windshield wipers with windshield
washer fluid (
୴ page 51).
!
Vehicles with rain sensor*:
Do not leave windshield wipers in
intermittent setting when the vehicle is
taken to an automatic car wash or
during windshield cleaning. Windshield
wipers will operate in the presence of
water sprayed on the windshield, and
windshield wipers may be damaged as
a result.
!
Vehicles with rain sensor*:
If you have set intermittent wiping, dirt
on the surface of the rain sensor or op-
tical effects may cause the windshield
wipers to wipe in an undesired fashion.
This could then damage the windshield
wiper blades or scratch the windows.
You should therefore switch off the
windshield wipers when weather condi-
tions are dry.
