wipers off before entering a car wash.

windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. If that does not resolve the
issue, install new wiper blades.

windshield. This may scratch the glass,
damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper
motor to burn out. Always use the

A
On.B
Low sensitivity.
C
Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the autowipers. When you
select low sensitivity, the wipers operate
when the sensor detects a large amount
of water on the windshield. When you
select high sensitivity, the wipers 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.
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.

display. When you switch off autowipers,
the wipers operate in intermittent mode. WINDSHIELD WASHERS

windshield washers. When you release the
lever, the wipers operate for a short time.
When activated, a courtesy wipe occurs a
short time after the wipers stop to clear
any remaining washer fluid.

You can switch courtesy wipe on or
off in the information display See
Information Messages (page 99).
Note: Do not operate the washers when
the washer reservoir is empty. This may
cause the washer pump to overheat.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Condensation in the Exterior Front
Lamps and Rear Lamps
Exterior front lamps and rear lamps have
vents to accommodate normal changes
in air pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can occur
when the temperature is cold. When
normal condensation occurs, a fine mist
can form on the interior of the lens. The
fine mist eventually clears and exits
through the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•
The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,
drip marks or large droplets).
• A fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.
Examples of unacceptable condensation
are:
• A water puddle inside the lamp.
• Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.
If you see any unacceptable condensation,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer. LIGHTING CONTROL Off.A
Parking lamps, instrument panel
lamps, license plate lamps and
tail lamps.

Headlamps.
C
Headlamp High Beam Push the lever away from you to switch

Headlamp Flasher
Slightly pull the lever toward you and

AUTOLAMPS
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention. You may need to
override the system if it does not turn the
headlamps on in low visibility conditions,
for example daytime fog. When the lighting control is in the
autolamps position, the headlamps turn
on in low light situations, or when the
wipers turn on. The headlamps remain on for a period of
time after you switch the ignition off. Use
the information display controls to adjust
the period of time that the headlamps
remain on.
Note:
If you switch the autolamps on, you
cannot switch the high beams on until the
system turns the low beams on.
Windshield Wiper Activated
Headlamps
When you switch the autolamps on, the
headlamps turn on within 10 seconds of
switching the wipers on. They turn off
approximately 60 seconds after you switch
the windshield wipers off.
The headlamps do not turn on with the
wipers:
• During a single wipe.
• When using the windshield washers.
• If the wipers are in intermittent mode.
Note: If you switch the autolamps and the
autowipers on, the headlamps turn on when
the windshield wipers continuously operate.
INSTRUMENT LIGHTING
DIMMER
Note: When disconnecting the battery or
when it runs out of charge, the illuminated
components turn to the maximum setting.

DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS
WARNING
The daytime running lamps system
does not activate the rear lamps and

during low visibility driving conditions.
Make sure you switch the headlamps on,

conditions. Failure to do so may result in a
crash. The system turns the lamps on in daylight
conditions.
