Automatic Intermittent Wipers
When you move the lever to the AUTO
position while driving in rainy weather,
the wipers operate based on the
amount of detected rainfall.
Rotate the adjustment ring to adjust
the rainfall sensor sensitivity. Set the
wipers to OFF when the rain stops.
Ensure the wiper lever is in the OFF position before entering a car wash or
cleaning the windshield. Wiper-system damage may happen otherwise.
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get
scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged. In cold weather, the
blades may freeze to the windshield. To prevent damaging them, use the
defroster to warm the windshield or manually clear off the snow or ice.

Adjusting the Front Seats
Adjust the driver’s seat as far back as
possible while allowing you to maintain
full control of the vehicle. You should be
able to sit upright and well back in the
seat, adequately press the pedals without
leaning forward, and grip the steering
wheel comfortably. The passenger’s seat
should be adjusted so that it is as far back
from the front airbag in the dashboard as
possible.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and Transport Canada
recommends that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center
of the steering wheel and the chest.
Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious injury or death if the
front airbags inflate.
Always sit as far back from the front airbags as possible while maintaining
control of the vehicle.
Reclining the seat-back too far can result in serious injury or death in a crash.
Adjust the seat-back to an upright position, and sit well back in the seat.
