Wiper Operation
The windshield wipers and washers can be used when the vehicle is on.
 Front Wipers
Move the wiper lever up or down to the desired 
position.
 Headlight-Wiper Integration*When the headlights are in the AUTO position, 
they automatically turn on when the front 
wipers operate several times within a certain 
interval. The headlights turn off shortly after 
the wipers are turned off, or if there is enough 
ambient light.
 Intermittent WipersWhen you move the lever to the INT position, 
the wipers operate based on the wiper delay.
Adjust the wiper delay using the adjustment ring.
 Rear WiperWhen you shift to Reverse (R) and the front 
wipers are activated, the rear wiper activates 
even if the switch is off. 
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get 
scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged.
In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the windshield, becoming stuck. 
Operating the wipers in this condition may damage the wipers. Use the de\
froster 
to warm the windshield, or manually clear the windshield of ice and snow before 
turning on the wipers.
NOTICE
