CAUTION
Do not touch the rain sensor and around it
when the wiper switch is in the AUTO
position and the ignition switch is in the
ON position. The wipers may operate un-
expectedly and cause to an injury or a wiper
damage.
.The rain-sensing auto wipers are in-
tended for use during rain. If the switch
is left in the AUTO position, the wipers
may operate unexpectedly when dirt,
fingerprints, oil film or insects are
stuck on or around the sensor. The
wipers may also operate when exhaust
gas or moisture affect the rain sensor.
. The rain-sensing auto wipers may not
operate if rain does not hit the rain
sensor even if it is raining. .
When the windshield glass is coated
with water repellent, the speed of the
rain-sensing auto wipers may be high-
er even though the amount of the
rainfall is small.
. Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing
auto wiper system when you use a car
wash.
. Using genuine wiper blades is recom-
mended for proper operation of the
rain-sensing auto wiper system. (See
“Windshield wiper blades” (P.8-22) for
wiper blade replacement.)

and down smoothly and that the locks (if
so equipped) hold securely in all latched
positions.
