l
Do not shade the rain sensor by
adhering a sticker or a label on the
windscreen. Otherwise the rain
sensor will not operate correctly.
CAUTION
l
When the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position and the igni tion is
switched ON, the wipers may move
automatically in the following cases:
l
If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is touched or wiped with a
cloth.
l
If the windscreen is struck with a
hand or other object from either
outside or inside the vehicle.
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windscreen when the wiper lever is
in the AUTO position and the
ignition is switched ON as fingers
could be pinched or the wipers and
wiper blades damag ed when the
wipers activate automatically.
If you are going to clean the
windscreen, be sure the wipers are
turned off completely―this is
particularly important when clearing
ice and snow―when it is most likely
that the engine is left running.
NOTE
l
Switching the auto-wiper lever from
the OFF to the AUTO position while
driving at a vehicle speed of 4 km/h
(2 mph) or higher (or after driving
the vehicle) 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.
