AUTO (Automatic) control
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 inter-
val. 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 (B).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when Engine Start/Stop button
is in the ON position, the wiper will
operate once to perform a self-check
of the system. Set the wiper to OFF
position when the wiper is not in use. When washing the vehicle, set
the wiper switch in the OFF (O)
position to stop the auto wiper
operation. The wiper may oper-
ate 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.
There may be a malfunction with the wiper sensor while operating
in the AUTO mode, when there
are interruptions by foreign sub-
stances, such as small pebbles,
dust, or insects, or when an out-
side brightness is abruptly
changed while driving.
There may be a malfunction with the wiper sensor in detecting a
rainfall amount, when the front
windshield is coated with wax,
or when the wiper blades are
worn out.
