Automatic (AUTO) Intermittent Wipers*
When you push the lever down to
AUTO
, the windshield wipers sweep
once, and go into the automatic mode.
The wipers operate intermittently, at
low speed, or at high speed and stops
in accordance with the amount of
rainfall the rainfall sensor detects.
When the wiper function is set to
AUTO, you can adjust the sensitivity
of the rain fall sensor (using the
adjustment ring) so that wipers will
operate in accordance with your
preference.
Low sensitivity: Heavy
rain accumulation needed
for wipers to sweep.
High sensitivity: Light
rain accumulation needed
for wipers to sweep.
