Transmission In NEUTRAL Position The Rain Sens-
ing system will not operate if the NEUTRAL gear is
selected in any speed unless the wiper switch is moved
or the gear selector is moved out of NEUTRAL.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit On vehicles equipped with
Remote Starting system, Rain Sensing wipers are not
operational when the vehicle is in the remote start mode.
Once the operator is in the vehicle and has placed the
ignition switch in the ON/RUN position, Rain Sensing
wiper operation can resume, if it has been selected, and no
other inhibit conditions (mentioned previously) exist.
Rear Window Wiper/Washer
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the wind-
shield wiper/washer lever on the right side of the steering
column. The rear wiper has different operation modes:
Intermittent mode
In synchronous mode (at half speed of the front window
wiper) when the front window wiper is operating.
Continuous mode
Vehicle in REVERSE: If the front wiper is active and the
REVERSE gear is selected, the wiper will turn on for one
wipe.
Rotate the center portion of the lever upward to the
first detent for intermittent operation and to the
second detent for continuous rear wiper operation.
To use the washer, push the lever forward and
hold while spray is desired. If the lever is pushed
while in the intermittent setting, the wiper will
turn on and operate for several wipe cycles after
the end of the lever is released, and then resume the
intermittent interval previously selected.
If the lever is pushed while the wiper is in the off position,
the wiper will operate for several wipe cycles, then turn off.
NOTE: As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the
switch is held for more than 20 to 30 seconds. Once the
lever is released the pump will resume normal operation.
