The rain sensor 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 perform a self-check
of the system. Set the wiper to off posi-
tion when the wiper is not in use.
CAUTION
When the ignition switch is ON and
the windscreen wiper switch is
placed in the AUTO mode, use cau-
tion in the following situations to
avoid any injury to the hands or
other parts of the body:
• Do not touch the upper end of the
windscreen glass facing the rain
sensor.
• Do not wipe the upper end of the
windscreen glass with a damp or
wet cloth.
• Do not put pressure on the wind-
screen glass.
