RAIN SENSING WIPER*
When the wiper switch is in the
“AUTO”
position, this sensor detects the
amount of rain, turns on the wiper, and controls the intermittent wiper intervals.
Rain and Auto Light Sensor
Wiper AUTO Position
It controls the wiping speed by de-
tecting the amount of rain drops.
AUTO
When you clean the windshield over the sensor with damp clothes, the wiper may
operate suddenly. It could cause serious injury. Make sure to place the wiper switch
and ignition switch to the “OFF” position when not in use.
WARNING
• When the wiper switch is in the “AUTO” position, the wiper will operate once if the
initial engine start is made. This may wear the wiper blades prematurely (especially
in winter). Therefore, other than rainy days, set the switch to the “OFF” position. In
winter, ensure that the wiper blades are not frozen and are not stuck to the
windshield. Otherwise, this may cause some damage to the wiper motor.
• If you use only the wipers when the glass is dry, this could scratch the glass and wear
the wiper blades prematurely. Use the wiper with the washer when the glass is dry.
• Turn the wiper switch to the “OFF” position before any car wash to avoid unwanted
operation of the wipers.
• When it does not rain, turn the wiper switch into the “OFF” position.
CAUTION
• When the light and wiper switches are in the “AUTO”
position, head lights come on if the rain sensor de-
tects any rain. The head lights stay on for 3 min-
utes after the rain stops.
• The speed of the wipers becomes a little faster
when it is dark enough to turn on the automatic lights.
• When the ignition key is in the “ON” position, the wiper
will automatically operate once if the wiper switch
is turned from the “OFF” to the “AUTO” position. But
the wiper will not operate again to prevent any dam-
age to the window even though the wiper switch
is turned from the “OFF” position to the “AUTO”
position.
