NOTICE
If there is heavy accumulation of
snow or ice on the windshield, de‐
frost the windshield for about 10
minutes, or until the snow and/or ice
is removed before using the wind‐
shield 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 wip‐
er and washer system.
Auto control (if equipped)
The rain sensor (A) located on the up‐
per end of the windshield 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 wip‐
er 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 wip‐
er will operate once to perform a self-
check of the system. Set the wiper to
OFF (O) position when the wiper is not
in use.
CAUTION
When the ignition switch is ON and
the windshield wiper switch is placed
in the AUTO mode, use caution in the
following situations to avoid any in‐
jury to the hands or other parts of
the body:
• Do not touch the upper end of the
windshield glass facing the rain
sensor.
• Do not wipe the upper end of the
windshield glass with a damp or
wet cloth.
• Do not put pressure on the wind‐
shield glass.
CAUTION
• When washing the vehicle, set the
wiper switch in the OFF (O) posi‐
tion to stop the auto wiper opera‐
tion.
The wiper may operate and be
damaged if the switch is set in the
AUTO mode while washing the ve‐
hicle.
