The wipers will automatically oper-
ate a couple of times after the

washer can be operated when
The power switch is in ON.
■ Effects of vehicle speed on
wiper operation
Vehicles with intermittent wind-
shield wipers
With low speed windshield wiper
operation selected, wiper operation
will be switched from low speed to
intermittent wiper operation when
the vehicle is stationary. (However,
when the wiper intervals are
adjusted to highest level, the mode
will not switch.)
Vehicles with rain-sensing wind-
shield wipers
With low speed windshield wiper
operation selected, wiper operation
will be switched from low speed to
intermittent wiper operation when
the vehicle is stationary. (However,
when the sensor sensitivity is
adjusted to the highest level, the
mode will not switch.)
■ Raindrop sensor (vehicles with
rain-sensing windshield wipers)
● The raindrop sensor judges the
amount of raindrops. An optical
sensor is adopted. It may not
operate properly when sunlight
from the rising or setting of the
sun intermittently strikes the wind-
shield, or if bugs, etc. are present
on the windshield.
● If the wiper switch is turned to the
“AUTO” position while the power
switch is in ON, the wipers will
operate once to show that “AUTO”
mode is activated.
● If the wiper sensitivity is adjusted
to higher, the wiper may operate
once to indicate the change of
sensitivity.
● If the temperature of the raindrop
sensor is 185°F (85°C) or higher,
or 5°F (-15°C) or lower, the auto-
matic operation may not occur. In
this case, operate the wipers in
any mode other than “AUTO”.
