Windshield washer/headlight sprayer ?

Is there any way to spray the windshield without the headlight sprayers going off? If practically douses the entire car. Very annoying.

Previous thread about same topic as well as listed in your owners manual.

Summary answer: set your headlights to the "off" position and it will only spray the shield and not the headlights. Only in auto mode will it spray everything (on the 3rd or 5th spray)

Thanks. Thought I'd tried that but I'll try it again.

I concur with leaving the headlight switch off. On another note, it always seems to spray the headlights on the first spray after turning on the car.
