The rain sensor located on the upper
end of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls the
wiping cycle at the proper interval.
The more it rains, the faster the wiper
operates. When the rain stops, the
wiper stops. To vary the speed set-
ting, turn the speed control knob (B).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when the Engine Start/Stop
Button is ON, the wiper will operate
once to perform a self-check of the
system. Set the wiper to OFF position
when the wiper is not in use.
NOTICE
When the Engine
Button is ON and the windshield
wiper switch is placed in the AUTO
mode, use caution in the following
situations to avoid any injury to
the hands or other parts of the
body:
• Do not touch the upper end of
the windshield glass facing the
rain sensor.
• Do not wipe the upper end of the
windshield glass with a damp or
wet cloth.
• Do not put pressure on the
windshield glass.
