Can only be used when the operation mode of
the power switch is in ON.
If the lever is put in the “AUTO” position, the
rain sensor (A) will detect the extent of rain
(or snow, other moisture, dust, etc.) and the
wipers will operate automatically.
Keep the lever in the “OFF” position if the
windscreen is dirty and the weather is dry.
Wiper operation under these conditions can
scratch the windscreen and damage the wip-
ers.
If the washer is used in cold weather, the
washer fluid sprayed against the glass may
freeze, which may hinder visibility. Warm
the glass with the defroster or rear window
demister before using the washer.
Windscreen wipers
To ensure a clear rearward view, the rear
window wiper will automatically perform
several continuous operations if the select

tion while the windscreen wipers are operat-
ing.
