Automatic wiper control system
Some models without automatic wipers are equipped with a front wiper system that adjusts wiper speed according to vehicle speed.
When the vehicle slows to walking pace or stops, the wiper speed automatically switches to the next lower wiper speed setting.
When the vehicle speed increases, the wiper speed returns to the manually selected setting.
Moving the wiper lever while the system is active will switch the system off.
When the vehicle slows to walking pace or stops again, the system will switch back on.
