Auto control
The rain sensor located on the upper
end of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls
the wiping cycle for the proper inter-
val. The more it rains, the faster the
wiper operates. When the rain stops,
the wiper stops.
To vary the speed setting, turn the
speed control knob (B).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when the engine start/stop
button is ON, the wiper will operate
once to perform a self-check of the
system. Set the wiper to OFF (O)
position when the wiper is not in use.
