Forester Wiper question - MIST?

[Mike]

I have an 02 Forester that I recently bought and have a question
about the wiper. There is a setting on the wiper stalk which says MIST
PULL and shows a little graphic of what I take to be the windshield
wiper wash spray - the manual just says that pulling the stalk
activates the wiper but makes no references to anything spraying. I am
just trying to figure out what the graphic is suppossed to represent
if not spraying washer fluid?

I believe it refers to misty rain. When it there is not enough rain to have
the intermittent wipers on. Pulling the stalk towards you and releasing
will activate the wipers once. Pulling it towards you and holding it will
activate the wipers until you release it.

This one feature on the wiper stalk quit functioning on my '95 Legacy.
The only fix was $200 for a new arm. I found it was not hard to live
without it.
