If dirt or debris (such as ice or debris
containing salt water) adheres to the
windshield above the rain sensor or if
the windshield is iced, it could cause
the wipers to move automatically.
However, if the wipers cannot remove
this ice, dirt or debris, the auto-wiper
control will stop operation. In this case,
set the wiper lever to the low speed
position or high speed position for
manual operation, or remove the ice,
dirt or debris by hand to restore the
auto-wiper operation.
If the auto-wiper lever is left in the
AUTO position, the wipers could
operate automatically from the effect of
strong light sources, electromagnetic
waves, or infrared light because the rain
sensor uses an optical sensor.
It is recommended that the auto-wiper
lever be switched to the OFF position
other than when driving the vehicle
under rainy conditions.
The auto-wiper control functions can be
turned off.
Because heavy ice and snow can jam
the wiper blades, the wiper motor is
protected from motor breakdown,
overheating and possible fire by a
circuit breaker. This mechanism will
automatically stop operation of the
blades, but only for about five minutes.
If this happens, turn off the wiper switch
and park off the road and remove the
snow and ice. After five minutes, turn
on the switch and the blades should
operate normally. If they do not resume
functioning, contact an authorized
dealer as soon as possible. Pull off to
the side of the road to a safe location.
Wait until the weather clears before
trying to drive with the wipers
inoperative.
Windshield Washer
Pull the wiper/washer lever rearward
and hold it to spray washer fluid onto
the windshield.
With the wiper lever in the OFF,
intermittent, or AUTO position, the
wipers will operate continuously until
the lever is released.
Warning!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You
might not see other vehicles or other
obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm
the windshield with defroster before and
during windshield washer use.
If the fluid level is normal and the
washer does not work, contact an
authorized dealer.
With Headlight Washers
When the headlights are on, the
headlight washers operate
automatically once every fifth time the
windshield washer operates.
