Wiper Operation
Adjust the wiper lever and
its controls to operate the
front and rear wipers.
• Single wipe –
Pull the lever down.
• Intermittent wipe –
Raise the lever upward
to position 1.
• Normal wipe – Raise the
lever upward to position 2.
• High speed wipe –
Raise the lever to position
3, its highest position.
Intermittent Wipe
Putting the wiper lever in
intermittent mode allows
the driver to set the amount
of time between wipes.
Use the rotary control on the wiper lever to adjust the
intermittent wipe intervals.
• Rotate the control upward
for short wipe intervals.
• Rotate the control
downward for long
wipe intervals.
Speed Dependent
Wipers
When your vehicle speed
increases, the interval
between wipes decreases.
Autowipers*
The wipers function when
the system detects moisture
on the windshield, and
adjusts the wiper speed
automatically. Use the
rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the rain sensor.
• Low sensitivity – The
wipers automatically
operate when the sensor
detects a large amount of
moisture on the windshield.
• High sensitivity – The
wipers automatically
operate when the sensor detects a small amount
of moisture on the
windshield.
Note: Keep the outside of
the windshield clean. Dirt,
bugs and excessive road
debris can prevent it from
detecting rain.
To Reduce Smearing, We
Recommend the Following
Lower the sensitivity of
the autowipers.
• Switch to normal or
high-speed wipe.
• Switch the autowipers off.
Note: Make sure you switch
off the windshield wipers
before entering a car wash.
Washing the
Windshield
To operate the windshield
washer, pull the wiper lever
toward you. • For a short spray, pull
and release.
• For a longer spray, pull
and hold the wiper lever
toward you. Release the
lever once the windshield
is clear of dirt or debris.
Rear Window Wiper
To operate, press the rocker
switch on the end of the
lever to change between
off, intermittent and low
speed. After you shift into
reverse (R) and switch the
wipers on, the rear wiper
automatically turns on to
intermittent speed.
Rear Window Washer
To use the rear window
washer, push the wiper lever
away from you. When you
release the lever, the wiper
operates for a short time.
