'snow' position for wipers
Hi - Does anybody's car actually have a switch below the mirror adjusting switch that causes the wipers to 'home' to a slightly raised position to avoid icing up? My manual shows such a switch, but it ain't there in my car (92 LS-L). What's up with that? BTW, what does 'LS-L' stand for anyway? Thanks. Marc

I'm not sure what each letter means but LS was the best one and the LS-(L) makes it have the touring pkg. Correct? Some options were extra on even the touring pkg like the Winter wipers switch and the heated mirrors and what else?

You have the switch. Look lower underneath the dash.

You do have the switch....you're just not looking low enough. You can't see it while sitting in the car, you really need to get out and stick your head down by the fuse box panel near where your left foot rests. You'll see it. Dave

Some other goodies with the car are 1) the tray under the passenger seat that slides out and 2) the door handles can be used as cell phone holders!

Do JDM models have the 'snow' switch as well? What does the switch itself look like?
