■ The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The power switch is in ON mode.
■ Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles with rain-sensing
windshield wipers)
Even when the wipers are not in “AUTO” mode, wiper operation varies
depending on vehicle speed when the washer is being used (delay until drip
prevention wiper sweep occurs).

in ON mode, the wiper will operate once to show that “AUTO” mode is acti-
vated.
● If the temperature of the raindrop sensor is 90C (194F) or higher, or -15C
