B
Normal wipe.
C
High-speed wipe.
D
Note: Fully defrost the windshield before
you switch the windshield wipers on.
Note: Make sure that 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. See Checking the Wiper
Blades (page 246). If that does not resolve
the issue, install new wiper blades. See
Changing the Front Wiper Blades
(page
246).
Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windshield. This may scratch the glass or
damage the wiper blades. Always use the
windshield washers before wiping a dry
windshield. Intermittent Wipe
Short wipe interval.

interval between wipes decreases.
AUTOWIPERS
Autowipers uses a rain sensor in the area
around the interior mirror. The wipers
operate when the rain sensor detects
water on the windshield in front of it. The
rain sensor continues to monitor the
amount of water and adjusts the speed of
the wipers.
Note: The wipers remain in a slightly raised
position during operation and only return to
the park position a short time after the rain
sensor detects no water on the windshield.

Overriding the Bounce-Back Feature
WARNING:

reverse if it detects an obstacle. Take care
when closing the windows to avoid
personal injury or damage to your vehicle.
