ers wipe at intermittent speed until
you pull away again. The wipe intervals
are longer in intermittent mode.
Vehicles with rain sensor*:
You can use speed

wiping frequency according to how
heavy the rain is. If you stop the vehi-

ly switched down to speed
I.
The original speed of the windshield
wipers is resumed when you drive
faster than 5 mph (8 km / h) again.
iWipe with windshield washer fluid even
when it is raining. By doing so you can
prevent smears on the windshield.
