NOTE

l

Switching the auto-wiper lever from the

to the

position while driving

activates the windshield wipers once, after
which they operate according to the rainfall
amount.

l

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.

l

If the windshield is coated with water
repellent, the rain sensor may not be able to
sense the amount of rainfall correctly and
auto-wiper control may not operate
properly.

l

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. However, if the
wipers cannot remove this ice, dirt or
foreign matter, the auto-wiper control will
stop operation. In this case, set the wiper
lever to the low speed position or high
speed position for manual operation, or
remove the ice, dirt or foreign matter by
hand to restore the auto-wiper operation.

l

If the auto-wiper lever is left in the
position, the wipers could operate
automatically from the effect of strong light
sources, electromagnetic waves, or infrared
light because the rain sensor uses an
optical sensor. It is recommended that the
auto-wiper lever be switched to the
position other than when driving the vehicle
under rainy conditions.

l

The auto-wiper control functions can be
turned off.
Refer to Personalization Features on page
9-9.
