Auto control (if equipped)
The rain sensor located on the upper
end of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls the
wiping cycle for the proper interval.
The more it rains, the faster the wiper
operates. When the rain stops, the
wiper stops.
To vary the speed setting, turn the
speed control knob (1).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when the Engine Start/Stop
Button is ON, the wiper will operate
once to perform a self-check of the
system. Set the wiper to OFF posi-
tion when the wiper is not in use.
When the engine Start/Stop but-
ton is ON and the windshield
wiper switch is placed in the
AUTO mode, use caution in the
following situations to avoid
damaging the rain sensors on
the windshield:
Do not touch the upper end ofthe windshield glass facing
the rain sensor.
Do not wipe the upper end of the windshield glass with a
damp or wet cloth.
Do not put pressure on the windshield glass.
CAUTION

the wiper switch to the OFF posi-
tion so the auto wiper will not
operate.
The wiper may operate and be
damaged if the switch is set in
the AUTO mode while washing
the vehicle.
Do not remove the sensor cover
located on the upper end of the
passenger side windshield
glass. Damage to system parts
could occur and may not be cov-
ered by your vehicle warranty.

age the windshield wiper blades.

and defrost the windshield prop-
erly prior to operating the wind-
shield wipers.
