Do not operate the windshield wipers on a
dry windshield. This may scratch the glass,
damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper
motor to overheat. Always use the windshield
washers before you switch the windshield
wipers on.
On.A
High sensitivity.
B
Low sensitivity.
C During wet or winter driving conditions
where ice, snow or a salty road mist is
present, inconsistent or unexpected wiping
or smearing may occur. In these conditions,
you can do the following:
•
Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers
to reduce the amount of smearing on the
windshield.
• Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.
• Switch autowipers off.
Autowipers uses a rain sensor located in the
area around the interior mirror. The wipers
will operate when the rain sensor detects
water on the windshield. The rain sensor will
continue to monitor the amount of water on
the windshield and automatically adjust the
speed of the wipers.
Use the rotary control to adjust the sensitivity
of the autowipers. When you select low
sensitivity, the wipers will operate when the
sensor detects a large amount of water on
the windshield. When you select high
sensitivity, the wipers will operate when the
sensor detects a small amount of water on
the windshield. Keep the outside of the windshield clean.
The rain sensor is very sensitive and the
wipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects hit
the windshield.
Note:
Make sure you switch the windshield
wipers off before entering a car wash.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. If that does not resolve the
issue, install new wiper blades. See
Changing the Wiper Blades (page 308).
Note: If you switch autolamps and
autowipers on, the headlamps will
automatically turn on when the windshield
wipers continuously operate.
