If you try to clean the windshield
around the rainf all sensor using a
cloth soaked with water with the
ignition switch in the ON (II)
position and the wiper switch in the
AUTO position, the wiper may
operate unexpectedly and you may
get injured. Make sure to turn of f
the wipers bef ore you wash your
vehicle.
To operate the wipers in mist mode,
push the control lever down. The
wipers run at high speed until you
release the lever. This gives you a
quick way to clear the windshield. The rainfall sensor is located in the
windshield near the rearview mirror.
If the sensor is covered with mud, oil,
dust, etc., the wipers may not
operate properly or may operate
unexpectedly.
