NOTICE
If there is heavy accumulation of
snow or ice on the windshield, de‐
frost the windshield for about 10
minutes, or until the snow and/or ice
is removed before using the wind‐
shield wipers to ensure proper oper‐
ation. If you do not remove the snow
and/or ice before using the wiper
and washer, it may damage the Wip‐
er and washer system.
Auto control (if equipped)
The rain sensor (A) located on the up‐
per end of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls the
wiping cycle for the proper interval.
The more it rains, the faster the wiper
operates. When the rain stops, the wip‐
er stops.
To vary the speed setting, turn the
speed control knob (1).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO mode
when the START/STOP button is ON,
the wiper will operate once to perform
a self-check of the system. Set the
wiper to OFF (O) position when the wip‐
er is not in use.
CAUTION
When the START/STOP button is ON
and the windshield wiper switch is
placed in the AUTO mode, use cau‐
tion in the following situations to
avoid any injury to the hands or oth‐
er parts of the body:
• Do not touch the upper end of the
windshield glass facing the rain
sensor.
• Do not wipe the upper end of the
windshield glass with a damp or
wet cloth.
• Do not put pressure on the wind‐
shield glass.
CAUTION
• When washing the vehicle, set the
wiper switch in the OFF (O) posi‐
tion to stop the auto wiper opera‐
tion.
The wiper may operate and be
damaged if the switch is set in the
AUTO mode while washing the ve‐
hicle.
