Vehicles with rain sensor*:
Do not leave in intermittent setting 
when vehicle is taken to an automatic 
car wash or during windshield cleaning. 
Wipers will operate in presence of wa-
ter sprayed on the windshield, and wip-
ers 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 when wiping occurs on a dry 
windshield.
