Features of your vehicle
NOTICE
If there is heavy accumulation of
snow or ice on the windshield,
defrost the windshield for about 10
minutes, or until the snow and/or
ice is removed before using the
windshield wipers to ensure proper
operation. If you do not remove the
snow and/or ice before using the
wiper and washer, it may damage
the wiper and washer system.
WARNING
Do not use the washer in freezing
temperatures without first warming
the windshield with the defrosters;
the washer solution could freeze on
the windshield and obscure your
vision.
Auto control (if equipped)
OON048415NR
The rain sensor (A) located on the
upper end of the windshield glass
senses the amount of rainfall and
4 118
controls the wiping cycle for the
proper interval. The more it rains,
the faster the wiper operates. When
the rain stops, the wiper stops.
To vary the speed setting, turn the
speed control knob (1).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when the ENGINE START/
STOP button is ON position, the
wiper will operate once to perform a
self-check of the system. Set the
wiper to the OFF position when the
wiper is not in use.
WARNING
When the ENGINE START/STOP but-
ton is in the ON position and the
windshield wiper switch is placed in
AUTO mode, use caution in the fol-
lowing 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 wind-
shield glass.
