■The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■Dripping prevention wiper sweep
After performing a washing and wiping operation several times, the wipers operate one
more time after a short delay to prevent dripping.
However, this final wiper operation will not be performed while driving.
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wip-
ers)
Vehicle speed affects the following even when the wipers are not in AUTO mode.
●Intermittent wiper interval
●Wiper operation when the washer is being used (delay until drip prevention wiper
sweep occurs)
With low speed windshield wiper operation selected, wiper operation will be switched
from low speed to intermittent wiper operat ion only when the vehicle is stationary.
■Raindrop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
●If the wiper is turned to AUTO mode while the engine switch is in IGNITION ON
mode, the wipers will operate once to show that AUTO mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sensor is 185°F (85°C) or higher, or -22°F (-30°C)
or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate the wipers in any
mode other than AUTO mode.
■When the windshield wipers are in tempor ary operation (vehicles with rain-sensing
windshield wipers)
AUTO mode cannot be activated even if is pressed.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the windshield
washer fluid reservoir.
■Operation guide display (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers only)
When the windshield wiper swit ch is operated to activate AUTO mode or when the rain-
sensing level is adjusted, the current status is displayed on the meters for a few seconds.

●The raindrop sensor judges the amount of
raindrops.
An optical sensor is ad opted. It may not oper-
ate properly when sunlight from the rising or
setting of the sun intermittently strikes the
windshield, or if bugs etc. are present on the
windshield.

Before refueling the vehicle
WA R N I N G
■When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refu
eling the vehicle. Failure to do so may
result in death or serious injury.
●After exiting the vehicle and before openin g the fuel door, touch an unpainted metal
surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to discharge static electricity
before refueling because sparks resulting fr om static electricity can cause fuel vapors
to ignite while refueling.
●Always hold the grips on th e fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened. Wait until the
sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot weather, pressurized fuel
may spray out the filler neck and cause injury.
●Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their body to come
close to an open fuel tank.
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances th at are harmful if inhaled.
●Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
●Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition hazard.
■When refueling
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel tank:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.
●Do not top off the fuel tank.
