Wiper System

FRONT
The front wiper system provides the driver with normal wipe (low and high speeds), intermittent wipe, wiper after wash, and pulse wipe functions. The driver selects the wiper function via a resistive multiplexed stalk switch mounted on the steering column. When the wiper is in the on position and the ignition is turned off, the wiper motor will continue to run until it reaches its park position.

Other front wiper system features:

Speed Sensitive Intermittent Wipe Mode - There are 6 individual delay times with a minimum delay of 1/2 second to a maximum of 18 seconds. When the vehicle speed is under 10 MPH, the delay time is doubled providing a range time of from 1 second to 36 seconds.

Pulse Wipe - When the wiper is in the off position and the driver presses the wash button for more than 62 msec but less than 1/2 second, 1 wipe cycle in low speed mode will be provided.

Wiper After Wash Mode - When the driver presses the wash button for over 1/2 second and then releases it, the wiper will continue to run for 2 additional wipe cycles.

REAR
The rear wiper system provides the driver with continuous, intermittent, and wiper after wash functions. The driver selects the wiper function via a resistive multiplexed switch mounted in the HVAC control.
