Auto-wiper control

When the wiper lever is in the 

position, the rain sensor senses the amount 

of rainfall on the windshield and turns the 

wipers on or off automatically (off—
intermittent—low speed—high speed).

The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be 

adjusted by turning the switch on the 

wiper lever.

From the center position (normal), rotate 

the switch upward for higher sensitivity 

(faster response) or rotate it downward for 

less sensitivity (slower response).
