Wiper Arm Assembly Protection
When using an automatic car wash,
move the windshield wiper lever to
OFF. This disables the automatic
Rainsense windshield wipers and/or
manual windshield wipers.
With Rainsense, if the transmission
is in N (Neutral) and the vehicle
speed is very slow, the wipers will
automatically stop at the base of the
windshield.
The wiper operations return to
normal when the transmission is no
longer in N (Neutral) or the vehicle
speed has increased.

the button is returned to the middle
position.
INT : Press the lower portion of the
button for rear intermittent wipes.
m= : Push the windshield wiper
lever forward to spray washer fluid
on the rear window. The lever
