Automatic Intermittent Wipers
*1
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, becoming stuck.
Operating the wipers in this condition may damage the wipers. Use the
defroster to warm the windshield, or manually clear the windshield of ice
and snow before turning on the wipers.
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.
