The wash/wipe system includes the following functions:
- Flick wipe
- Interval
- Wiper stage 1
- Wiper stage 2
- Automatic wiping via rain-light-solar-condensation sensor
The rear wiper (wiping and washing) is operated via a rotary switch. This means that the control functions for the windscreen wiper and the rear wiper are separated.
NOTE:
For the purposes of clarity, the US version features its own symbol on the wash/wipe switch.
The rear window is wiped intermittently (intermittent period is programmable by the customer, see the vehicle owners handbook).
With reverse gear engaged, a switch is made from intermittent operation to continuous wiping.
