High sensitivity.A
Autowipers on.B
Low sensitivity.C
Move the wiper lever upward to the first
position to switch autowipers on.
Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the autowipers. When you
select low sensitivity, the wipers operate
when the sensor detects a large amount
of water on the windshield. When you
select high sensitivity, the wipers operate
when the sensor detects a small amount
of water on the windshield.
Note: Keep the outside of the windshield
clean. The rain sensor is very sensitive and
the wipers may operate if dirt, mist or
insects hit the windshield.
If you leave autowipers on, it may not
operate when you switch the ignition on
during freezing temperatures. This is
because the system has deactivated the
rain sensor to prevent damage to the
windshield wipers. Defrost the windshield
before reactivating the rain sensor. You
can reactivate the rain sensor by moving
the rotary control or switching autowipers
off and on.
Note: Fully defrost the windshield before
you switch the windshield wipers on.
Note: Make sure that you switch the
windshield wipers off before entering a car
wash.
Wet or winter weather conditions could
cause unexpected wiping or smearing.
To keep the windshield clear:
Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers
to reduce the amount of smearing on
the windshield.
Switch autowipers off.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. See Checking the Wiper
Blades (page 308). If that does not resolve
the issue, install new wiper blades. See
Changing the Front Wiper Blades (page
309).
WINDSHIELD WASHERS
E197528
Pull the lever toward you to operate the
windshield washers. When you release the
lever, the wipers operate for a short time.
A courtesy wipe occurs a short time after
the wipers stop to clear any remaining
washer fluid.
You can switch courtesy wipe on or off in
the information display.
Note: Do not operate the washers when
the washer reservoir is empty. This could
cause the washer pump to overheat.
