With Auto-Wiper Control
When the wiper lever is in the AUTO position,
th
e rain sensor will sense the amount of rain-
fall on the windshield and turns the wipers
o
n
or off automatically (off/intermittent/low
speed/high speed).
Switch positions:
or MIST: operation while pulling up
lever
OFF: stop
AUTO: auto control operation
— or LO: low speed operation
= or HI: high speed operation
Adjusting Rain Sensor Sensitivity
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be
ad
justed by rotating the switch on the wiper
lever.
From the center position (normal), rotate the
sw
itch downward for higher sensitivity (+)
(faster response) or rotate it upward for less
sensitivity (-) (slower response).
Rain Sensor Adjustment
NOTE:
Do not shade the rain sensor by placing a
s
t
icker or a label on the windshield. Other-
wise the rain sensor will not operate
c
o
rrectly.
When the wiper lever is in the AUTO position
an
d the ignition is placed in the ON position,
the wipers may move automatically in the
following cases:
If the windshield above the rain sensor is
touched or wiped with a cloth
If the windshield is struck with a hand or
other object from either outside or inside
the vehicle
If the windshield is going to be cleaned, be
su
re the wipers are turned off. This is
important when clearing ice and snow.
Turning the auto-wiper lever from the OFF to
th
e AUTO position while driving activates the
windshield wipers once, after which they
operate according to the rainfall amount.
The auto-wiper control may not operate when
th
e rain sensor temperature is about 14°F
(–10°C) or lower, or about 185°F (85°C) or
higher.
If the windshield is coated with water repel-
lent, the rain sensor may not be able to sense
th
e amount of rainfall correctly and
auto-wiper control may not operate properly.
WARNING!
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windshield when the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position and the ignition is cycled
ON, as fingers could be pinched or the
wipers and wiper blades damaged when
the wipers activate automatically.
