■The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
■ Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles with rain-sensing
windshield wipers)
Vehicle speed affects the wiper operation when the washer is being used
(delay until drip prevention wiper sweep occurs) even when the wipers are
not in “AUTO” mode.
With “ ” selected, wiper operation will be switched from low speed to
intermittent wiper operation only when the vehicle is stationary.
(However, when the sensor sensitivity is adjusted to the highest level, the
mode cannot be switched.)
■ Rain drop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
● If the wiper switch is turned to “AUTO” position while the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is in IGNITIO N ON mode, the wiper will operate
once to show that “AUTO” mode is activated.
● If the temperature of the rain drop sensor is 176 F (80C) or higher, or
14 F (-10 C) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case,
operate the wipers in any mode other than “AUTO”.
■ 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.
●The sensor judges the amount of rain-
drops.

CAUTION
■
Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in “AUTO” mode (vehi-
cles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
The windshield wipers may operate unexpec tedly if the sensor is touched or
the windshield is subject to vibration in “AUTO” mode. Take care that your
fingers or anything else do not become caught in the windshield wipers.
■ Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes
warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When the windshield is dry
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
■ When there is no washer fluid spray from the nozzle
Damage to the washer fluid pump may be caused if the lever is pulled
toward you and held continually.
■ When a nozzle becomes blocked
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.
