Bugs crashing on the area where the rain

the wipers. We recommend you to keep
the area on around the sensor on the
windshield clean.
Water splashing on the windshield when
the road is wet, and icing, snow or fog at
winter may cause erratic or unexpected
operation of automatic wipers or cause
the automatic wipers to scatter the dirt
and deteriorate the vision.
You may perform the following to keep the
windshield clean.
