RAIN-SENSING AUTO WIPER
SYSTEM
The rain-sensing auto wiper system can
automatically 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,
push the lever down to the AUTO position
. The wiper will sweep once while the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
The rain sensor sensitivity level can be
adjusted by turning the knob toward
(High) or toward(Low). .
High — High sensitive operation
. Low — Low sensitive operation
To turn the rain-sensing auto wiper system
off, push up the lever to the OFF position, or
pull down the lever to the LO or HI position.
CAUTION
Do not touch the rain sensor and around
it when the wiper switch is in the AUTO
position and the ignition switch is in the
ON position. The wipers may operate
unexpectedly and cause to an injury or
may damage a wiper.
. The rain-sensing auto wipers are in-
tended for use during rain. If the switch
is left in the AUTO position, the wipers
may operate unexpectedly when dirt,
fingerprints, oil film or insects are stuck
on or around the sensor. The wipers may
also operate when exhaust gas or
moisture affect the rain sensor.
. The rain-sensing auto wipers may not
operate if rain does not hit the rain
sensor even if it is raining.
. When the windshield glass is coated
with water repellent, the speed of the
rain-sensing auto wipers may be higher
even though the amount of the rainfall is
small.

.Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing auto
wiper system when you use a car wash.
. Using genuine wiper blades is recom-
mended for proper operation of the
rain-sensing auto wiper system. (See
“Windshield wiper blades” (P.8-22) for
wiper blade replacement.)
