A - Rotary Switch for Windshield Wiper

B - Lever for Rear Window Wiper

C - Switch for Windshield Washer

D - Windshield Washer Reservoir

Windshield wiper rotary switch (A) has four positions:

  • 0 = off
  • --- = Intermittent wipe
  • 1 = Slow wipe
  • 2 = Fast wipe

At intermittent wipe, wiper frequency is dependent on wheel speed.


B — Rear window wiper

Rear window wiper lever (B) has three positions:

  • 0 = off (lever to front)
  • --- = Intermittent wipe (lever centered)
  • 1 = Constant wipe (lever to rear)

If the rear window wiper is switched off while in motion, it remains in its current position. The rear window wiper moves back to its home position automatically when the ignition is switched off or the rear window is opened.

IMPORTANT: Never open the rear window fully without first checking that the rear wiper has reached its home position.


C — Window washer

The windshield washer is operated using switch (C).

The rear window washer system is operated by pulling the lever toward the steering wheel.

Add anti-freeze solution to water in reservoir (D) if temperature is liable to drop below freezing point.

The windshield and rear window washer systems both have an automatic wipe/wash function. When the washer is switched on, the wiper operates in conjunction with the washer pump and then it wipes up to three times more. After a 5-second delay, the wiper comes on once more.
