the desired speed setting.
The ignition switch must be in the “ON” position.

The wiper speed is determined by the amount of raindrops and
sunlight detected by the windshield sensor (shown in the
illustration), and the vehicle speed.
“LO” position: Low speed operation
“HI” position: High speed operation
Twist the automatic control adjuster in the “–” direction to
lower the sensitivity, and the “+” direction to boost the
sensitivity.
With the ignition switch turned off, if the windshield sensor is
touched by reason of cleaning the windshield or for any other
reason, either of the following operations may cause automatic
wiper activation.
Turning the ignition switch on with the wiper lever in the
“AUTO” position.
Turning the ignition switch on and move the wiper lever
down in the “AUTO” position.
Even with the wiper lever in the “AUTO” position, the system
will switch to intermittent operations if the system malfunctions.
The system will turn off if the windshield gets extremely hot (at
more than 80C or 176F) or cold (at less than –10C or 14F).

wipers and windshield.
When the wiper lever is in the “AUTO” position with the
ignition switch on, the wipers could operate
automatically in the following cases:

adjacent to the sensor.

(adjacent to which the sensor is located) with a towel.
