Washer/wiper dual

Pulling the lever operates the wip-
ers and washer.
The wipers will automatically oper-
ate a couple of times after the
washer squirts.
■ The windshield wipers and
washer can be operated when
The engine switch is in ON.
■ Raindrop sensor (vehicles with
rain-sensing windshield wipers)
● The raindrop sensor judges the
amount of raindrops.
● If the wiper switch is turned to the
“AUTO” position while the engine
switch is in ON, the wipers will
operate once to show that “AUTO”
mode is activated.
● If the wiper sensitivity is adjusted
to higher, the wiper may operate
once to indicate the change of
sensitivity.
● If the temperature of the raindrop
sensor is 185°F (85°C) or higher,
or 5°F (-15°C) or lower, the auto-
matic operation may not occur. In
this case, operate the wipers in
any mode other than “AUTO”.
■ If no windshield washer fluid
sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are
not blocked if there is washer fluid in
the windshield washer fluid reser-
voir.
WARNING
■ Caution regarding the use of
windshield wipers in “AUTO”
mode (vehicles with rain-
sensing windshield wipers)
The windshield wipers may oper-
ate unexpectedly if the sensor is
touched or the windshield is sub-
ject to vibration in “AUTO” mode.
Take care that your fingers or any-
thing else does not become
caught in the windshield wipers.
