1 Intermittent — intermittent operation can be
adjusted by turning the switch toward A
(Slower) or B (Faster). Also, for vehicles
equipped with speed dependent wipers, the

with the vehicle speed. (For example,
when the vehicle speed is high, the intermittent
operation speed will be faster.)

3 High — continuous high speed operation

Pull the lever toward you 5 to operate the washer. The wiper will also operate several times.

with water to the manufacturer’s
recommended levels before pouring
the fluid into the windshield-washer
