WASHER-LINKED WIPER WITH DRIP-PREVENTION FUNCTION
When the wiper switch is set to OFF, INT (models without raindrop sensing function) or AUTO (models with raindrop sensing function) and the washer switch is turned ON for approximately 0.2 seconds or more, the wipers start on LO at the same time as the washer fluid is sprayed.
The wipers operate three times on LO after the washer switch is turned OFF.
As shown in the following diagram, after the end of this operation, the wipers operate once more. They do so after an interval time determined by the vehicle speed, so that any washer fluid drips are wiped away.
