Operating Modes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Jeep Wrangler. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The components of the rear wiper and washer system are designed to work in concert to provide the following operating modes
- Continuous Wipe Mode - When the rear wiper and washer switch rocker is moved to the Wipe position, the rear wiper will be operated in a continuous manner at a fixed wipe cycle speed until the switch is moved to the Off position. When the Off position is selected, the rear wiper motor will continue to operate until the current wipe cycle is complete, then park the wiper blade in a horizontal position near the top of the liftglass.
- Washer Mode - The rear wiper and washer switch rocker must first be moved to the Wipe detent in order to access the momentary Wash position and operate the rear washer system. When the Wash position is selected, the rear washer system will dispense washer fluid onto the liftglass and the rear wiper motor will operate in a continuous mode for as long as the switch is held closed. The rear wiper and washer switch rocker must be manually moved back to the Off position following rear washer operation in order to turn the rear wiper system off.
