detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

■ If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked and if there is washer fluid in
the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
WARNING
■ Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in AUTO mode
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or
the windshield is subject to vibration in AUTO mode. Take care that your fin-
gers 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

Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
■ When the washer fluid tank is empty
Do not use the washer when the washer fluid tank is empty. This may cause

WARNING
■ Front sensor
The front sensor uses lasers to detect vehicles ahead of your vehicle. The
front sensor is classified as class 1M laser product according to the IEC
60825-1 standard. Under normal usage condi tions, these lasers are not harm-
ful to the naked eye. However, it is necessary to observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in the loss of eyesight or severe visual impairment.
● To avoid hazardous laser radiation exposure, never attempt to disassem-
ble the front sensor (e.g. remove the lenses). When disassembled, the
front sensor is classified as a class 3B laser product according to the IEC
60825-1 standard. Class 3B lasers are hazardous and pose a risk of eye
injury under direct exposure.
