■The windshield wipers and washer can
be operated when
The power switch is in ON mode.
■Dripping prevention wiper sweep (vehi-
cles with rain-sensing windshield wip-
ers)
After washing and wiping operation several
times, the wipers operate one more time
after a short delay to prevent dripping. However, this function will not operate while
driving.
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper opera-
tion (vehicles with rain-sensing wind-
shield wipers)
Vehicle speed affects the Intermittent wiper
interval.
■Raindrop sensor (vehicles with rain-
sensing windshield wipers)
●The raindrop sensor judges the amount
of raindrops.
An optical sensor is adopted. It may not
operate properly when sunlight from the
rising or setting of the sun intermittently
strikes the windshield, or if bugs, etc. are
present on the windshield.
●If the wiper switch is turned to the
position while the power switch is in ON
mode, the wipers will operate once to
show that AUTO mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sensor
is 194°F (90°C) or higher, or 5°F (-15°C)
or lower, automatic operation may not
occur. In this case, operate the wipers in
any mode other than AUTO mode.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not
blocked, if there is washer fluid in the
washer fluid tank.
