the wipers operate based on the amount of detected rainfall.
Put the lever in the AUTO position only when driving in rainy weather. Return the
lever to the OFF position when rain stops.
Rotate the adjustment ring to adjust the rainfall sensor sensitivity. Return the
lever to the OFF position when rain stops.

NOTICE
Always ensure the wiper lever is in the OFF position before cleaning the
windshield or entering a car wash to prevent damage to the wiper system.
Rear Wiper
Rotate the end of the wiper lever to operate the
rear wiper.
When you change the gear to Reverse (R) and
the front wipers are activated, the rear wiper
activates even if the switch is off.
NOTICE
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get
scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged.
In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the windshield, becoming stuck.
Operating the wipers in this condition may damage the wipers. Use the defroster
to warm the windshield, or manually clear the windshield of ice and snow before
turning on the wipers.

Adjusting the Seats
Make seat adjustments before driving to ensure the best comfort and safety.
Adjusting the Front Seats
Adjust the driver's seat as far back as possible
while allowing you to maintain full control of
the vehicle. You should be able to sit upright and
well back in the seat, adequately press the pedals
without leaning forward, and grip the steering
wheel comfortably. The passenger's seat should
be adjusted so that it is as far back from the front
airbag in the dashboard as possible.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada
recommend that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of
the steering wheel and the chest.
