reason the brake hold system is not avail-
able (the driver’s door opens, the driver’s

tem when it becomes available.

wiper operation will resume.
■To protect the windshield wipers
If movement of the windshield wipers is
largely restricted by a foreign object such as
snow, the operation of the windshield wip-

tect the windshield wipe rs. In this case, turn
the windshield wiper switch off and remove
the foreign object, and then use the wind-
shield wipers.
■When stopping the engine tem> in an emergency while driving
If the windshield wipers are operating when
the engine is stopped, the
windshield wipers will operate in high speed
operation. After the vehicle is stopped,
operation will return to normal when the

operation will stop when the driver’s door is
opened.
■Customization

changed.
(Customizable features:  P.395)When the windshield wipers are not
being used, they retract to below the
hood. To enable the windshield wipers
to be lifted when parking in cold condi-
tions or when replacing a windshield
wiper insert, change the rest position of
the windshield wipers to the service
position using the wiper lever.

shield wipers in “AUTO” mode

an accident, resulting in death or serious
injury.

Damage to the washer fluid pump may
be caused if the lever is pulled toward
