When the user switches the ignition to STOP, leaving the
lever in intermittent positions, no wipe cycle is per-
formed for safety reasons. This temporary inhibition
avoids accidental activations of the wiping (e.g during
the hand washing of the windscreen, blocking the blades
in ice/snow conditions). The user can activate the Rain

•Moving the level in OFF position and then in Intermit-
tent positions.
•One MIST command actuation.
