The intermittent wiping interval is de-
pendent on wetness of windshield. 
Wiping will not occur with a door open. 
Do not leave windshield wipers in inter-
mittent setting when vehicle is taken to 
an automatic car wash or during wind-
shield cleaning. Wipers will operate in 
the presence of water sprayed on the 
windshield, and wipers may be dam-
aged 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 when wiping occurs on a dry 
windshield.
