NOTICE
If there is heavy accumulation of
snow or ice on the windshield, de‐
frost the windshield for about 10
minutes, or until the snow and/or ice
is removed before using the wind‐
shield wipers to ensure proper oper‐
ation. If you do not remove the snow
and/or ice before using the wiper
and washer, it may damage the wip‐
er and washer system.
AUTO (Automatic) 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 interval.
The more it rains, the faster the wiper
operates. When the rain stops, the wip‐
er 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 wip‐
er will operate once to perform a self-
check of the system. Set the wiper to
off position when the wiper is not in
use.
CAUTION
When the ignition switch is ON and
the windshield wiper switch is placed
in the AUTO mode, use caution in the
following situations to avoid any in‐
jury 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 wind‐
shield glass.
CAUTION
When washing the vehicle, set the
wiper switch in the off position to
stop the auto wiper operation.
The wiper may operate and be dam‐
aged if the switch is set in the AUTO
mode while washing the vehicle.
Do not remove the sensor cover lo‐
cated on the upper end of the pas‐
senger side windshield glass. Dam‐
