CAUTION
Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to
affect
the wiper's ability to clean windows.
An operation malfunction may occur
or the wiper
effectiveness
may be
reduced if a water-repellent coating
is used.
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use gasoline,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents on or near them.
When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the vehicle power is
switched ON, the wipers may move
automatically in the following cases:
If the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched.
If the windshield above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
If the windshield is struck with a
hand or other object.
If the rain sensor is struck with a
hand or other object from inside
the vehicle.
Be careful not to pinch hands or
fingers as it may cause injury, or
damage the wipers. When washing
or servicing the vehicle, make sure
the wiper lever is in the OFF
position.
Contamination of either the
windshield or the blades with foreign
matter can reduce wiper effectiveness.
Common sources are insects, tree sap,
and hot wax treatments used by some
