Was driving home today from echuca and was playing around with...the car and twisted the end of the wiper handle/switch/arm thing. i noticed it when i first bought the car but forgot to ask....

Its a twisting knob, with 3 settings, on the end of the wiper handle and it has a little gap next to it that indicates the amount of whatever it is.

I have 2 guesses at what it is:

1. Regulates the amount of water from the washers

2. Sets how far the wipers sit under the bonnet.

Anyone know for sure what it does ?

dude if its what ur describing. all cars have it, it controls the speed of the wipers when in the intermittent mode.

lol i wish it set how far the wipers sit under the bonnet thou. bloody shits me when i'm cleaning my car and can't put the wipers up. other then that they do look good when not in use been hidden and all.

ahhh excellent. I was reading in my manual that there is a switch that you can flick to make the wipers stop higher. I think it is snow mode or something.

Gonna test out the intermittent mode. wooooo

yeah, I think that my cefiro doesn't have snow-mode either.... since of course we don't get much snow in Thailand

konect... is one of your reverse lights red as well? or do you have any rear facing red foglights? Most "snow area" cars in japan have em. Surprised your A31 isn't AWD... most of the GTS4's come from snow areas and a lot of AWD ceffies too.

i didnt mean snow mode as in traction control or anything. Just remember reading that the switch I was talking about on the wipers is meant to let them sit higher so you can put them up in the snow.

not sure if my car has it its in the garage and I cbf going to check.

Also in other news I bought some late model taillights. wooooooooooooo!
