The point of that switch is ...
Does anyone else have a switch to the left of the hood opener (right for you lhd peeps), that alters the location of the windscreen wipers ?? Just found it earlier and wondered what point of it was. Its a 1995 Jap Spec.

I am pretty sure that all SVX's have that switch. It's purpose is to locate the wipers up on the windshield a little higher for the winter for cleaning and melting ice off of them. Plus you can not lift them up off of the windshield without changing the switch position.

Actually, that switch allows you to park the wipers higher so that they don't get frozen to the car as easily in snow/ice conditions.

The winter position switch is THE one toy probably ONLY found on the SVX. When my friends brag about their GPS, their built-in garage door openers, their heated steering wheels... well, I say, "Betcha' can't do this" Heh-heh. Oooooh! Polo Green with envy!
At this point I also explain the winter position visors & stealth under hood light. Ron.
