AUTO (Automatic) 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 interval.
The more it rains, the faster the wiper
operates. When the rain stops, the
wiper stops. To vary the speed set-
ting, turn the speed control knob (B).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when Engine Start/Stop button
is in the ON position, the wiper will
operate once to perform a self-check
of the system. Set the wiper to OFF
position when the wiper is not in use.To avoid personal injury from
the windshield wipers, when the
engine is running and the wind-
shield wiper switch is placed in
the AUTO mode:
Do not touch the upper end of
the windshield glass facing
the rain sensor.
Do not wipe the upper end of
the windshield glass with a
damp or wet cloth.
Do not put pressure on the
windshield glass.
WARNING

the wiper switch in the OFF
position to stop the auto wiper
operation. The wiper may oper-
ate and be damaged if the
switch is set in the AUTO mode
while washing the vehicle.

cover located on the upper
end of the passenger side

Windshield washers
In the OFF position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windshield and to run the
wipers 1-3 cycles. The spray and
wiper operation will continue until you
release the lever. If the washer does
not work, you may need to add wash-
er fluid to the washer fluid reservoir.If equipped with the Headlamp
Washer, washer fluid will be sprayed
on the headlamp at the same time you
operate the windshield washer when:
1. The Engine Start/Stop button is in
the ON position.
2. The light switch is in the headlamp
position.
When the outside temperature is
below freezing, ALWAYS warm
the windshield using the
defroster to prevent the washer
fluid from freezing on the wind-
shield and obscuring your vision
which could result in an acci-
dent and serious injury or death.
WARNING
To prevent possible damage
to the washer pump, do not
operate the washer when the
fluid reservoir is empty.
To prevent possible damage
to the wipers or windshield,
do not operate the wipers
when the windshield is dry.
To prevent damage to the
wiper arms and other compo-
nents, do not attempt to move
the wipers manually.
To prevent possible damage
to the wipers and washer sys-
tem, use anti-freezing washer
fluids in the winter season or
cold weather.

NOTICE
• When using the air conditioning
system, monitor the engine tem-
perature gauge closely while driv-
ing up hills or in heavy traffic
when outside temperatures are
high. Air conditioning system
operation may cause engine over-
heating. Continue to use the blow-
er fan but turn the air condition-
ing system off if the engine tem-
perature gauge indicates engine
overheating.
• When opening the windows in
humid weather air conditioning
may create water droplets inside
the vehicle. Since excessive water
droplets may cause damage to
electrical equipment, air condi-
tioning should only be operated
with the windows closed.Air conditioning system operation
tips If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows for a short time
to let the hot air inside the vehicle
escape.
To help reduce moisture inside of
the windows on rainy or humid
days, decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle by operating the air
conditioning system.
During air conditioning system
operation, you may occasionally
notice a slight change in engine
speed as the air conditioning com-
pressor cycles. This is a normal
system operation characteristic.
Use the air conditioning system
every month only for a few minutes
to ensure maximum system per-
formance.
After sufficient cooling has been
achieved, switch back from the
recirculated air to the fresh outside
air position.
