03 Instruments and controls
Tailgate wiper/washer
Tailgate wiper and reverse gear
Power windows
If the windshield wipers are on and the trans-
mission is put into reverse gear, the tailgate
wiper will go into intermittent wiping func-
tion19. This function is deactivated when a dif-
ferent gear is selected.
The tailgate wiper operates at two speeds:
intermittent and continuous.
All power windows can be operated using the
control panel in the driver's door. The control
panels in the other doors only operate the
window in the respective doors.
NOTE
03
On vehicles with the optional rain sensor,
the tailgate wiper will be activated when
reverse is selected, if the rain sensor is
activated and it is raining.
If the tailgate wiper is in the normal (continu-
ous) wiping mode, selecting different gears
will not affect its function.
Move the lever forward to start the tailgate
washer.

The rear wiper is equipped with a cut-off
function, which means that it will not oper-
ate if its electric motor overheats. The
wiper will function again after a cool-down
period (30 seconds or longer, depending
on the heat of the motor and ambient tem-
perature conditions).
