To turn the rear wiper on, turn the knob on the end of the wiper control lever upward to the “INT” or “ON” position.

To turn the wiper off, return the knob on the end of the lever to the “OFF” position.

With the switch turned to the “INT” position, the rear wiper will operate intermittently at intervals corresponding to the vehicle speed (longer when the vehicle speed is low; shorter when the vehicle speed is high).

When the transmission is shifted into reverse, the rear wiper will switch to continuous operation. When the transmission is shifted to a position other than reverse, the rear wiper will return to intermittent operation.
