NOTE
Switching the auto-wiper lever from the
to the position while driving
activates the windshield wipers once,
after which they ope rate according to
the rainfall amount.
The auto-wiper control may not operate
when the rain sensor temperature is
about
－10 °C (14 °F) or lower, or
about 85 °C (185 °F) or higher.
If the windshield is coated with water
repellent, the rain sensor may not be
able to sense the amount of rainfall
correctly and the auto-wiper control
may not operate properly.
If dirt or foreign matter (such as ice or
matter containing salt water) adheres to
the windshield above the rain sensor, or
if the windshield is iced, it could cause
the wipers to move automatically.

position for manual operation, or

automatically from the effect of strong
light sources, electromagnetic waves, or
infrared light because the rain sensor
uses an optical sensor. It is

be switched to the
position other
than when driving the vehicle under
rainy conditions.
