The rain-sensing auto wiper system can au-
tomatically turn on the wipers and adjust the
wiper speed depending on the rainfall and the
vehicle speed by using the rain sensor located
on the upper part of the windshield.
To set the rain-sensing auto wiper system,
place the lever in the AUTO position
1. The
wiper will sweep once while the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
The rain sensor sensitivity level can be ad-
justed by turning the knob toward the front
2(High) or toward the rear3(Low).
– High — High sensitive operation
– Low — Low sensitive operation
To turn the rain-sensing auto wiper system
off, rotate the lever to the OFF position, or
rotate the lever to the LO or HI position.
NOTE:
The Rain Sensor may be disabled. For addi-
tional information, refer to “How to use the
vehicle information display” in this section.
REAR SWITCH OPERATION
WARNING
In freezing temperatures the washer solu-
tion may freeze on the rear window and
obscure your vision which may lead to an
accident. Warm the rear window with the
defogger before you wash the rear window.
CAUTION
∙ Do not operate the washer continuously for more than 30 seconds. ∙ Do not operate the washer if the
windshield-washer fluid reservoir is
empty.
∙ Do not fill the windshield-washer fluid reservoir with windshield-washer fluid
concentrates at full strength. Some
methyl alcohol based windshield-washer
fluid concentrates may permanently
stain the grille if spilled while filling the
windshield-washer fluid reservoir.
∙ Pre-mix windshield-washer fluid concen- trates with water to the manufacturer’s
recommended levels before pouring the
fluid into the windshield-washer fluid
reservoir. Do not use the windshield-
washer fluid reservoir to mix the
windshield-washer fluid concentrate and
water.
If the rear window wiper operation is inter-
rupted by snow, etc., the wiper may stop
moving to protect its motor. If this occurs,
turn the wiper switch to OFF and remove the
snow, etc. on and around the wiper arms.
After about 1 minute, turn the switch on
again to operate the wiper.
The rear window wiper and washer operate
when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Turn the switch clockwise from the OFF po-
sition to operate the wiper.

The rear door alert system functions under
certain conditions to indicate there may be an
object or passenger in the rear seat(s). Check
the seat(s) before exiting the vehicle.
The rear door alert system is initially disabled.
The driver can enable the system using the
vehicle information display. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Vehicle information dis-
play warnings and indicators” in this section.
When the system is enabled:∙ The system is activated when a rear door is opened and closed approximately
10 minutes before the vehicle is started.
When the vehicle is started and the sys-
tem is activated, a visual message ap-
pears in the vehicle information display.
For additional information, refer to “Rear
Door Alert is activated” in this section.
∙ If a rear door is opened and closed but the vehicle is not started within approxi-
mately 10 minutes, the system will not be
activated. A rear door must be opened
and closed and the car started within
10 minutes for the system to activate. When the rear door alert system is activated
and a driver exits the vehicle after arriving at a
destination:
∙ When the driver puts the vehicle in the P (Park) position, a message appears in the
vehicle information display for a driver to
“Dismiss Message” or “Disable Alert” if
desired.
∙ With the system enabled, when the driver exits the vehicle, an audible alert (horn
sound) will occur unless a rear door is
opened and closed within a short time to
deactivate the alert.
∙ If the doors are locked before the alert is deactivated by opening a rear door, the
horn will sound.
∙ If the system is activated but the rear liftgate is opened before opening a rear
door, the horn will be delayed until after
the liftgate is closed.
∙ If the audible horn alert occurs, a mes- sage will also appear in the vehicle infor-
mation display that states, “Check Back
Seat for All Articles”.WARNING
• If the driver selects “Disable Alert”, no au-
dible alert will be provided regardless of
rear door open/close status.
• There may be times when there is an object
or passenger in the rear seat(s) but the au-
dible alert does not sound. For example,
this may occur if the engine is turned off
and then on again in a short period of time
during a trip, or if rear seat passengers en-
ter or exit the vehicle during a trip.
• The system does not directly detect ob-
jects or passengers in the rear seat(s). In-
stead, it can detect when a rear door is
opened and closed, indicating that there
may be something in the rear seat(s).
NOTE:
There may be times when the horn sounds
but there are no objects or passengers in the
rear seat(s).
For additional information, refer to “Rear
Door Alert is activated” in this section.
