Manual windshield wipe

[Rupp]

Guys,
I have a 2020 Ram 1500 Limited and I'm wondering if there's a way to do a manual windshield wipe. The truck has automated wipers and I typically leave them in this mode. But many times I get in and have dew or a few rain drops that need to be cleared and they do not trigger the auto wipers. Is there a manual way to wipe

Just turn the wipers off then on

Mist
When a single wipe to clear off road mist or spray
from a passing vehicle is needed, push the washer
knob, located on the end of the multifunction lever,
inward briefly and release. The wipers will cycle
one time and automatically shut off.
NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the washer
pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on
the windshield. The wash function must be used in
order to spray the windshield with washer fluid.

I use that feature all the time, I really like it.

Hum. I just went out and tried pushing the button on the end of the knob (I assume this is the mist). Not only did it wipe but it also sprayed fluid.

Ok, update. Went back and did it again and it works. To single wipe it's a very very quick push. If you hold it for more than a half a second it mists.
Thanks guys for the info.

You got it. Just give it a bump. Give it a press and you get washer fluid too.
