RAIN-SENSING AUTO WIPER SYSTEM
MEVT33A1-C3DA0905-9EBF-4814-8E98-41180361A122
MWBC0049X
The rain-sensing auto wiper system can automa-
tically turn on the wipers and adjust the wiper
speed depending on the rainfall and the vehicle
speed by using the rain sensor located on the
upper part of the windscreen.
To set the rain-sensing auto wiper system, push
the lever down to the “AUTO” position
. The wiper
will sweep once while the ignition switch is in the
ON position.
The rain sensor sensitivity level can be adjusted by
turning the knob toward
(Low) or (High).
* High — High sensitive operation
* Low — Low sensitive operation
To turn the rain-sensing auto wiper system off,
push up the lever to the “OFF” position, or pull
down the lever to the other.
CAUTION
Do not touch the rain sensor and around it
when the wiper switch is in the “AUTO” position
and the ignition switch is in the ON position.
The wipers may operate unexpectedly and
cause an injury or may damage a wiper.
* The rain-sensing auto wipers are intended
for use during rain. If the switch is left in
the “AUTO” position, the wipers may oper-
ate unexpectedly when dirt, fingerprints,
oil film or insects are stuck on or around
the sensor. The wipers may also operate
when exhaust gas or moisture affect the
rain sensor.
* When the windscreen glass is coated with
water repellent, the speed of the rain-
sensing auto wipers may be higher even
though the amount of the rainfall is small.
* Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing auto
wiper system when you use a car wash.
* The rain-sensing auto wipers may not
operate if rain does not hit the rain sensor
even if it is raining.
* Using genuine wiper blades is recom-
mended for proper operation of the rain-
sensing auto wiper system. (See “Wind-
screen wiper blades” (P.436) for wiper
blade replacement.)
