The wiper system in addition to HI (1) and LO (2) speeds, has an intermittent delay (3) mode. The wipers will return to the park position when the wiper portion of the switch is rotated to the OFF position. A mist function can be operated by briefly pressing the end of the multifunction switch lever inward.
