The wipers will function when moisture is
detected on the windshield. The rain
sensor will continue to monitor the amount
of moisture on the windshield and adjust
the speed of the wipers automatically. This
feature can be switched on or off in the
information display. See
General
Information
(page 83).
Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the rain sensor. With low
sensitivity, the wipers will operate when
the sensor detects a large amount of
moisture on the windshield. With high
sensitivity, the wipers will operate when
the sensor detects a small amount of
moisture on the windshield.
Keep the outside of the windshield clean.
Sensor performance will be affected if the
area around the interior mirror is dirty. The
rain sensor is very sensitive and the wipers
may operate if dirt, mist or flies hit the
windshield.
WINDSHIELD WASHERS
Note:
Do not operate the washers when
the washer reservoir is empty. This may
cause the washer pump to overheat.

The washers will spray for as long as you
pull the lever toward you. When you
release the lever, the wipers will operate
for a short time.
A wipe will occur a few seconds after
washing to clear any remaining washer
fluid. This feature can be switched on or
off in the information display. See
General
Information
(page 83).
