WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Note:
Fully defrost the windshield
before switching on the windshield
wipers.
Note: Make sure you switch off the
windshield wipers before entering a car
wash.
Note: Clean the windshield and wiper
blades if they begin to leave streaks or
smears. If that does not resolve the
issue, install new wiper blades.
Note: Do not operate the wipers on a
dry windshield. This may scratch the
glass, damage the wiper blades or
cause the wiper motor to burn out.
Always use the windshield washers
before wiping a dry windshield. Single wipe

Note: Fully defrost the windshield
before switching on the windshield
wipers.

windshield wipers before entering a car

Note:
If you switch autolamps on in
conjunction with autowipers, your low
beam headlamps will illuminate
automatically when the rain sensor
activates the windshield wipers
continuously.
Note: Wet or winter driving conditions
with ice, snow or salty road mist can
cause inconsistent and unexpected
wiping or smearing.
In these conditions, you can do the
following to help keep your windshield
clear:
• Lower the sensitivity of the
autowipers to reduce the amount
of smearing.
• Switch to normal or high-speed
wipe.
• Switch the autowipers off. Highest sensitivity
A
OnB
Lowest sensitivity
C The autowipers feature uses a rain
sensor. You will find it in the area
around the interior mirror. The rain
sensor monitors the amount of
moisture on the windshield and
automatically turns on the wipers. It
will adjust the wiper speed by the
amount of moisture that the sensor
detects on the windshield. You can
turn this feature on and off in the
information display. See General
Information (page 103).
Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the rain sensor. Set the
control to low sensitivity, and the
wipers will turn on when the rain
sensor detects a large amount of
moisture on the windshield. Set the
control to high sensitivity, and the
wipers will turn on when the rain
sensor detects a small amount of
moisture on the windshield.
Keep the outside of the windshield
clean. The rain sensor is very sensitive.
If the area around the mirror is dirty,
then the wipers may operate if dirt,
mist or insects hit the windshield.
WINDSHIELD WASHERS
Note: Do not operate the washers
when the washer reservoir is empty.
This may cause the washer pump to
overheat.

display. See General Information
(page 103).

The headlamps will remain on for a
period of time after you switch the
ignition off. You can adjust the time
delay using the information display
controls. See Information Displays
(page 103).
Note: If you switch autolamps on in
conjunction with autowipers, low beam
headlamps will illuminate
automatically when the rain sensor
activates the windshield wipers
continuously.
INSTRUMENT LIGHTING
DIMMER
Note: If you disconnect and connect
the battery, or fully discharge and
charge the battery, the illuminated
components will switch to the
maximum setting. Press repeatedly or press
and hold to dim.
A
Press repeatedly or press
and hold to brighten.
B HEADLAMP EXIT DELAY
After you switch the ignition off, you
can switch the headlamps on by
pulling the direction indicator lever
toward you. You will hear a short tone.
The headlamps will switch off
automatically after three minutes with
any door open or 30 seconds after the
last door has been closed. You can
cancel this feature by pulling the
direction indicator toward you again
or switching the ignition on.
DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
(IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
Always remember to switch your
headlamps on in low light
situations or during inclement
weather. The system does not
activate the tail lamps and may not
provide adequate lighting during these
conditions. Failure to activate your
headlamps under these conditions
may result in a collision. The system switches the signature
lamps on in day light conditions.
To switch the system on, switch the
ignition on, and switch the lighting
control to the off, autolamp, or
parking lamp position.
