During wet or winter driving conditions
where ice, snow or a salty road mist is
present, inconsistent or unexpected wiping
or smearing may occur. In these conditions,
you can do the following:
•

Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers
to reduce the amount of smearing on
the windshield.

•

Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.

•

Switch autowipers off.

Autowipers uses a rain sensor located in
the area around the interior mirror.  The
wipers will operate when the rain sensor
detects water on the windshield.  The rain
sensor will continue to monitor the amount
of water on the windshield and
automatically adjust the speed of the
wipers.

Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the autowipers.  When you
select low sensitivity, the wipers will
operate when the sensor detects a large
amount of water on the windshield.  When
you select high sensitivity, the wipers will
operate when the sensor detects a small
amount of water on the windshield.

Keep the outside of the windshield clean.
The rain sensor is very sensitive and the
wipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects
hit the windshield.

Note:

Make sure you switch the windshield

wipers off before entering a car wash.

Note:

 If streaks or smears appear on the

windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades.  If that does not resolve the
issue, install new wiper blades.

Note:

If you switch autolamps and

autowipers on, the headlamps will
automatically turn on when the windshield
wipers continuously operate.

lever, wiping will continue for a short period
of time.

cause the washer pump to overheat.

Note:

Do not operate the windshield

washers for more than 10 seconds at a time.
