Rain Sensors
Rotating the switch to the Low Sensitivity Rain
Sensing position (4), activates the first, less
sensitive level of the Rain Sensing function.
Rotating the switch to the High Sensitivity Rain
Sensing position (3), activates the second,
more sensitive level of the Rain Sensing func-
tion. Refer to "Rain Sensor" in this section for
more information on how this system
functions.
Windshield Washer Operation
Pull the stalk toward the steering wheel to
operate the windshield washer.
Keep the stalk pulled to activate both the
windshield washer jet and the windshield
wiper with a single movement. The wipers and
washers will continue to operate until stalk is
released.
The windshield wiper stops working three
strokes after the stalk is released, followed by
a final stroke six seconds later to complete the
cycle.
Mist
Use this feature when weather conditions
make occasional usage of the wipers neces-
sary. Push the stalk upward to the MIST posi-
tion and release for a single wiping cycle. This
function is useful to remove small deposits of
dust from the windshield or morning dew.
NOTE:
This function does not activate the windshield
washer. To spray windshield washer fluid onto
the windshield, the washing function must be
used.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You
might not see other vehicles or other
obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm
the windshield with the defroster before and
during windshield washer use.
Rain Sensor
The Rain Sensor is located behind the interior
rear view mirror. This feature senses moisture
on the windshield and automatically activates
the wipers for the driver.
Rain Sensor
The feature is especially useful for road splash
or over spray from the windshield washers of
the vehicle ahead.
The sensor has an adjustment range that
varies progressively from wiper still (no stroke)
when the windshield is dry, to wiper at contin-
uous speed (fast operation) with intense rain.
Activation
Rotating the wiper switch to the Low Sensitivity
Rain Sensing position (4) or High Sensitivity
Rain Sensing position (3) activates the rain
sensor.
The activation of the rain sensor system is
done by tapping the wiper stalk upwards while
the switch is in the Low Sensitivity Rain
Sensing position (4) or High Sensitivity Rain
Sensing position (3).
