CAUTION
When the wiper lever is in the
l
AUTO position and the ignition
switch is in the ON position, the
wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
If the windshield above the rain
l
sensor is touched.
If the windshield above the rain
l
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
If the windshield is struck with a
l
hand or other object.
If the rain sensor is struck with a
l
hand or other object from inside
the vehicle.
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windshield when the ignition switch
is in the ON position as fingers
pinched or the wipers and wiper
blades damaged when they activate
automatically. If you are going to
clean the windshield, be sure the
wipers are turned off completely -
this is particularly important when
clearing ice and snow - when it is
particularly tempting to leave the
engine running.
