Operating Modes

The components of the wiper and washer system are designed to provide the following operating modes:

• Automatic Wipe Mode  - On vehicles so equipped, the internal circuitry of the multi-function switch, the rain sensor control module and the rain sensor work in concert to provide wiper system operation automatically whenever moisture is detected on the windshield glass.
• Continuous Wipe Mode  - The two-speed wiper motor, the internal circuitry of the multi-function switch, and the wiper system logic circuits work in concert to provide two continuous wipe cycles, low speed or high speed.
• Intermittent Wipe Mode  - On vehicles so equipped, the internal circuitry of the multi-function switch, the intermittent wipe circuitry of the wiper, turn signals and engine start control module in the fuse block, and the wiper relay work in concert to provide an intermittent wipe mode with a single, fixed delay interval.
• Pulse Wipe Mode  - The internal circuitry of the multi-function switch and the wiper system logic circuits work in concert to provide a pulse wipe mode that will allow the wiper motor to be operated for a single, complete wipe cycle.
• Washer Mode  - When the washer system is activated with the multi-function switch while the wiper system is operating, washer fluid will be dispensed onto the windshield glass through the washer nozzles for as long as the washer pump/motor is energized.
• Wipe-After-Wash Mode  - The wiper system logic circuitry provides a wipe-after-wash feature. If the wipers are turned Off, this feature will operate the washer pump/motor and the wipers for as long as the washer system is activated, then provide several additional wipe cycles after the washer system is deactivated before parking the wiper blades near the base of the windshield.
