Wiper Parking
If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are on LO, HI, or INT, they
will immediately stop.
If the windscreen wiper lever is then
moved to OFF before the driver
door is opened or within 10 minutes,
the wipers will restart and move to
the base of the windscreen.
If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are operating due to
windscreen washing or rain sensing
operation, the wipers continue to
run until they reach the base of the
windscreen.
Rain Sensing
The vehicle may have rain sensing
wipers.
A sensor near the top centre of the
windscreen detects the amount of
water on the windscreen and
automatically controls the frequency
of the windscreen wiper.
Keep this area of the windscreen
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
Caution
Switch off the rain sensor by
setting the lever to the
OFF
position before entering a
car wash.
Replace the wiper blades as soon
as they do not completely remove
water from the windscreen. If the
blades are not replaced, the
wipers may continue to wipe even
though most of the screen is dry.
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, make sure that the
windscreen is fully defrosted
before switching on the rain
sensor.
