Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Speed Sensitive Intermittent Wipe Mode
There are 5 individual delay time settings with a minimum delay of 1.7 seconds to a maximum of 18.4 seconds. When the vehicle speed is under 10 MPH (16 KPH), the delay time is doubled, providing a delay range of 3.4 seconds to 36.8 seconds.
The delay setting of the rear wiper system is based solely on the vehicle speed. The delay time is defined as the amount of time from the start of a wipe to the beginning of the next wipe. The rear wiper system delay time is based on the following: 7.75 - (MPH x.05) = Seconds delay
Examples:
At zero (0) MPH the delay is 7.75 seconds.
At 100 MPH the delay is 2.75 seconds.
