The intermittent wiper setting allows you to determine how frequently the windshield wipers wipe. Turning on the intermittent wipes is easy:
1. Locate the windshield wiper lever, which protrudes from the right side of the steering column.
2. Push the windshield wiper level up to the INT setting.
3. Locate the INT band on the windshield wiper lever.
4. Rotate the band upwards to increase the frequency of the wipes, or downwards to decrease the frequency.

Most wipers have a low and a high speed, as well as an intermittent setting. When the wipers are on low and high speed, the motor runs continuously. But in the intermittent setting, the wipers stop momentarily between each wipe.
Your wiper relay could be bad if the low and high speed wiper positions function properly but the intermittent function stops working. Any combination of positions working or not working is a good indication of a faulty relay.
Autowipers uses a rain sensor located in the area around the interior mirror. The rain sensor monitors the amount of moisture on the windshield and automatically turns the wipers on. It will adjust the wiper speed by the amount of moisture that the sensor detects on the windshield.
Rainsense Operation
Move the windshield wiper lever to AUTO. The Driver Information Center will display that Rainsense is enabled. Turn the Rainsense sensitivity band UP for more sensitivity to moisture.
If you`re looking inside the cabin of your car from the outside, the sensor would be located behind the rearview mirror and you can tell it`s the sensor because a strip of lens or film will appear facing the outside. Some cars may have one or the other, or both.
On most vehicles, the windshield wipers can be activated by a lever located to the right of the steering wheel. Pulling the lever down should activate the windshield wipers on their lowest setting. Pulling the level in towards you should cause the wipers to swipe just once across the windshield.
When the wipers are on low and high speed, the wipers move continuously. But in the intermittent setting, the wipers stop momentarily between each wipe. Here`s how to use your automatic intermittent wipers: To turn on the automatic intermittent rain-sensing wipers, set the control lever to AUTO.
There are a number of reasons why windscreen wipers stop working and these include: torn wipers, broken controls, a blown fuse, faults with the motor, damaged arms, snow or ice covering, loose pivot nuts and a break in the wires. Torn wipers – wiper blades are comprised of plastic with rubber attachments.

Using E-15 fuel in my car do I need to use regular unleaded fuel maybe once in awhile or is it safe to continue to use the E-15?
ANSWER : E-15 is shorthand for gasoline blended with 15% Ethanol which is a fairly corrosive material which can cause damage to rubber parts and other critical parts over time. Ethanol also attracts and bonds with water from the air, and that water can separate out inside the tank due to phase separation. If your vehicle sits for long periods between use, the moisture settles to the bottom of the tank and can potentially clog in-tank pumps and filters. Damage is also possible in fuel lines, injectors, seals, gaskets, and valve seats as well as carburetors on older engines.
The main issue with respect to E-15 in many cases is whether or not the car will be covered under warranty from damage caused by using this product. GM and Ford have certified their own cars starting with 2012 (GM) and 2013 (Ford) to be compatible with E-15 and so some of the newer cars may not have any trouble with this.
I would not recommend using this fuel on longer drives where the chances of burning through an entire tank relatively quickly are greater. This may lessen the chance of excess E-15 fuel sitting in the bottom of your tank for longer periods of time where it may be prone to causing damage as outlined above.

ANSWER : Hello, thank you for writing in. If the new battery has also failed to hold a charge, the alternator is likely not working correctly. You can test the alternator at home with a voltmeter, or you can remove it and have it tested at most automotive parts stores. It will need to be replaced if it has failed. You will also want to make sure all of the electrical connections are clean, dry, and tight. For more help testing or replacing the alternator, contact our service department to schedule an appointment.

Can I use Primium 91 petrol for Pajero in Kuwait climate?? is there any problem for if Use this instead of Super 95?
ANSWER : Hi there:
As a United States based online mechanic service, we’re not that aware of the different climate changes in Kuwait. However, in general, when you have extreme heat, keeping your fuel consistent is very important for overall performance and engine efficiency. A change of fuel from 95 to 91 octane is a rather large jump; so you might want to seek advice from a local mechanic for your application.
Do I really need to use high octane fuel or can I use mid grade (occasionally)?
ANSWER : If your vehicle is required to use high octane fuel, then using anything else can cause damage to the pistons and valves in the engine. When you say you cannot hear any pinging when you are using mid grade fuels then you need to be sure since not all pinging can be heard by the human ear. The pinging may be happening so light that you would not be able to hear it. Any pinging is not good to the engine and can burn holes in the tops of your piston. Pinging is the fuel is igniting before the engine wants it to and ignites before the ignition sparks it. This is why it is called pre-ignition. I recommend not using any mid or low octane fuels for this vehicle.
