If the windshield washer is used with the rain
sensor activated, the normal washing cycle is
performed, and then the rain sensor resumes
its normal automatic operation.

NOTE:

Keep the glass in the sensor area clean.
Deactivation
To turn off the Rain Sensing Wipers, use the
wiper switch or place the ignition in the OFF
position.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor
while it is active, the windshield wiper oper-
ates intermittently at a speed consistent with
the sensitivity setting of the rain sensor,
whether or not there is rain on the glass for as
long as the sensor failure is indicated on the
display.
The sensor continues to operate and it is
possible to set the windshield wiper to contin -
uous mode (1 or 2). The failure indication
remains on for as long as the sensor is active. The rain sensor is able to recognize and auto
-
matically adjust itself in the presence of the
following conditions:
Presence of dirt on the controlled surface
(e.g. salt, dirt, etc.).
Presence of streaks of water caused by the
worn window wiper blades.
Difference between day and night.

The windshield wiper lever operates the head -
light washers when the ignition is in the ON
position and the headlights are turned on. To
use the headlight washers, pull the lever
toward you and release it. The headlight
washers will spray a timed high-pressure spray
of washer fluid onto each headlight lens. In

The headlight washers work on every tenth
wash cycle request.
CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Climate Control system allows you to regu -
late the temperature, air flow, and direction of
air circulating throughout the vehicle. The
