NOTE
l
Switching the auto-wiper lever from
the
to the position while
driving activates the windscreen
wipers once, after which they operate
according to the rainfall amount.
l
The auto-wiper control may not
operate when the rain sensor
temperature is about
_
10 °C or
lower, or about 85 °C or higher.
l
If the windscreen is coated with
water repellent, the rain sensor may
not be able to sense the amount of
rainfall correctly and auto-wiper
control may not operate proper ly.
l
If dirt or foreign matter (Such as ice
or matter containing salt water)
adheres to the windscreen above the
rain sensor or if the windscreen is
iced, it could cause the wipers to
move automatically. However, if the
wipers cannot remove this ice, dirt or
foreign matter, the auto-wiper
control will stop operation. In this
case, set the wiper lever to the low
speed position or high speed position
for manual operation, or remove the
ice, dirt or foreign matter by hand to
restore the auto-wiper operation.
l
If the auto-wiper lever is left in the
position, the wipers could
operate automati cally from the effect
of strong light sources,
electromagnetic waves, or infrared
light because the rain sensor uses an
optical sensor. It is recommended
that the auto-wiper lever be switched
to the
position other than when
driving the vehicle under rainy
conditions.
NOTE
l
The auto-wiper control functions can
be turned off.
Refer to Personalisation Features on
page 9-12.
