The wiper/washer switch (3) controls the wiper system. The switch is located on the right side of the steering column. Intermittent wipers are optional equipment on all of the models.

Turn the ring on the wiper/washer switch from S (slow cycling) to F (fast cycling) in order to adjust the cycle speed. A capacitor inside the intermittent controller charges and discharges. The capacitor controls the intermittent wiper operation.
