Wiper Operation - Acura RDX Owner's Manual

VEHICLE CONTROLS
• Keep the windshield around the camera clean. When cleaning the
windshield, be careful not to apply windshield cleanser to the camera
lens.
• Do not attach an object, sticker or film in the area around the camera.
• Do not touch the camera lens.
If the camera receives a strong impact or requires repair, consult a dealer.
If you see the message "Some Driver Assist Systems Cannot Operate:
Clean Front Windshield," park your vehicle in a safe place. Wipe away
debris blocking the windshield, then start driving again. If the message
remains even after driving for a while with the clean windshield, have your
vehicle checked by a dealer.
If you see a message that the camera is too hot, use the climate control
system to cool the interior. Defroster mode will direct airflow toward the
camera.

Wiper Operation

The windshield wipers and washers can be used when the vehicle is on.
n Front Wipers
Move the wiper lever up or down to the desired
position.
Headlight Integration with Wipers
n
When the headlights are in the AUTO position, they automatically turn on
when the front wipers operate several times within a certain interval. The
headlights turn off shortly after the wipers are turned off or if there is
enough ambient light.

n Intermittent (INT) Wipers
When you move the lever to the INT
position, the wipers operate based on
the delay adjustment.

the wiper delay.

Automatic Rain-Sensing Wipers
n
When you move the lever to the AUTO position while driving in rainy
weather, the wipers operate based on the amount of detected rainfall.
Rotate the adjustment ring to adjust the rainfall sensor sensitivity. Set the
wipers to OFF when the rain stops.
Ensure the wiper lever is in the OFF position before entering a car wash or
cleaning the windshield. Wiper-system damage may happen otherwise.
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.
