• If there is heavy accumulation of
snow or ice on the windshield,
defrost the windshield for about
10 minutes, or until the snow
and/or ice is removed before
using the windshield wipers to
ensure proper operation.
If you do not remove the snow
and/or ice before using the
wiper and washer, it may dam-
age the wiper and washer sys-
tem.
• When the wipers do not properly
wipe out the front windshield,
they may be worn out or
cracked. In this case, replace the
wipers with the new ones.
Auto control (if equipped)
The rain sensor located on the upper
end of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls
the wiping cycle for the proper inter-
val. The more it rains, the faster the
wiper operates.
When the rain stops, the wiper stops.
To vary the speed setting, turn the
speed control knob (1).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when the ignition switch is ON,
the wiper will operate once to per-
form a self-check of the system. Set
the wiper to OFF position when the
wiper is not in use.
NOTICE
When the ignition switch is ON
and the windshield wiper switch
is placed in the AUTO mode,
use caution in the following sit-
uations to avoid any injury to
the hands or other parts of the
body:
• Do not touch the upper end of
the windshield glass facing
the rain sensor.
• Do not wipe the upper end of
the windshield glass with a
damp or wet cloth.
• Do not put pressure on the
windshield glass.
