■ Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles equipped with
rain-sensing windshield wipers)
Vehicle speed affects the wiper operation when the washer is being used
(delay until drip prevention wiper sweep occurs) even when the wipers are
not in “AUTO” mode.

mittent wiper operation only when the vehicle is stationary.

operate the wipers in any mode other than “AUTO”.
■ If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the
