MAKE THE POINT:
Rain-sensing Windshield Wipers
Be sure to understand and explain the driver-
selectable sensitivity settings on the windshield wiper
stalk. Wet the windshield by using a spray bottle, or
hose, and cycle through the sensitivity settings so the
customer can experience the difference and visually
experience how the system functions. Be sure to also
show the customer how the system is disabled via
the stalk-mounted controls. This is important since
the system must be disabled before entering an
automatic car wash.
