NOTICE
If there is heavy accumulation of
snow or ice on the windscreen,
defrost the windscreen for about 10
minutes, or until the snow and/or ice
is removed before using the wind-
screen wipers to ensure proper oper-
ation. If you do not remove the snow
and/or ice before using the wiper
and washer, it may damage the
wiper and washer system.
Auto control (if equipped)
The rain sensor (1) located on the
upper end of the windscreen glass
senses the amount of rainfall and
controls the wiping cycle for the
proper interval. The more it rains, the
faster the wiper operates. When the
rain stops, the wiper stops.
To vary the speed setting, turn the
speed control knob (1).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when the ignition switch is ON,
the wiper will operate once to per-
form a self-check of the system. Set
the wiper to OFF (O) position when
the wiper is not in use.

• Do not touch the upper end of
the windscreen glass facing
the rain sensor.
