My mum's new Skoda Fabia has some obscure instructions relating to the windscreen-wipers.

It says "tip-wiping" - what on earth is that?

And it refers to the "sprung position" - is this the stem pressed away from the driver or pulled towards, or what?

Any help please - I can't find any mention of "tip-wiping" online.

It refers to the finger tip single-wipe operaration, where the control lever is tipped/tapped/moved against a spring.

The other positions (intermittent, normal, fast) are not sprung: the lever stays where it is put.

In my Skoda Octavia, the lever is tapped in the downward direction to get a single wipe. The other settings are in the upward direction.
