With the switch turned to the " " position, the rear wiper will operate intermittently at intervals corresponding to the vehicle speed. In this position, when you move the select lever to the "R" position (CVT models) or the shift lever to the reverse position (MT models), the rear wiper will switch to continuous operation.

When you move the select lever/shift lever from the "R" (reverse) position to another position, the rear wiper will return to intermittent operation.

Reverse gear interlocked rear wiper: Even if the rear wiper switch is in the off " " position, if the front windshield wiper is operating continuously, the rear wiper will operate intermittently when you move the select lever/shift lever to the "R" (reverse) position.

The factory setting (default setting) of the reverse gear interlocked rear wiper is as follows.
