WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Except for when it is in the Wash mode, the rear window wiper wipes the rear window at delay time intervals. With the rear wiper system activated, the length of time between wipes can be adjusted by selecting any one of the three delay speed settings of the windshield wiper switch.

During the Wash mode, if the rear washer switch is momentarily turned to ON, the rear wiper will wipe the rear window 3-5 times and then park. However, if the rear washer switch is held to ON, the rear window wipers will continue to operate until the switch is released.

While the delay speed of both the front and rear wipers is adjusted by the windshield wiper switch selections, the delay time intervals of the rear wiper are not synchronized with the delay time intervals of the front wipers.

The rear wiper should stop at the Park position anytime the rear wiper is not wiping. However, if the ignition switch is turned OFF while the rear wiper is wiping, the wiper will stop at its current location on the glass.
