If the windshield wipers are switched on
and you stop the vehicle, the windshield
wiper speed is reduced. For example, if you
have selected level II and stop the vehicle,
wiping continues with intermittent wipe
while the vehicle is stationary. If
intermittent wipe is selected, the intervals
become longer.
Vehicles with a rain/light sensor: you
can use level I as the universal setting. The
rain/light sensor sets the appropriate
wiping frequency automatically, according

the vehicle, levels III and II are switched

The windshield wipers will return to the
original level when you drive faster than
5 mph (8 km/h) again.
