The engine switch is in ON.
Raindrop sensor (vehicles with
rain-sensing windshield wipers)
The raindrop sensor judges the
amount of raindrops.
If the wiper switch is turned to the
“AUTO” position while the engine
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”.
If no windshield washer fluid
sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are
not blocked if there is washer fluid in
the windshield washer fluid reser-
voir.
WARNING
Caution regarding the use of
windshield wipers in “AUTO”
mode (vehicles with rain-
sensing windshield wipers)
The windshield wipers may oper-
ate unexpectedly if the sensor is
touched or the windshield is sub-
ject to vibration in “AUTO” mode.
Take care that your fingers or any-
thing else does not become
caught in the windshield wipers.
