Warning
In freezing weather, do not use the
washer until the windscreen is
warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid
can form ice on the windscreen,
blocking your vision.
{
Warning
Before driving the vehicle, always
clear snow and ice from the bonnet,
windscreen, roof, and rear of the
vehicle, including all lamps and
windows. Reduced visibility from
snow and ice build-up could lead to
a crash.
Clear snow and ice from the wiper
blades and windscreen before using
them. If frozen to the windscreen,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
Damaged blades should be replaced.
See Wiper Blade Replacement 0 261.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor. See Electrical System
Overload 0 265.
Wiper Parking
If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are on LO, HI, or AUTO with
Rainsense turned off, they will
immediately stop.
If the windscreen wiper lever is then
moved to OFF before the driver door is
opened or within 10 minutes, the
wipers will restart and move to the
base of the windscreen.
If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are performing wipes due to
windscreen washing or Rainsense, the
wipers continue to run until they
reach the base of the windscreen.
Rainsense
If Rainsense is turned on, a sensor
near the top centre of the windscreen
detects the amount of water on the
windscreen and controls the frequency
of the windscreen wiper based on the
current sensitivity setting.
Keep this area of the windscreen clear
of debris to allow for best system
performance.
AUTO : Move the windscreen wiper
stalk to AUTO. Turn the band on the
wiper stalk to adjust the sensitivity.
Turn the band up for more
sensitivity to moisture.
Turn the band down for less
sensitivity to moisture.
Move the windscreen wiper lever
out of the AUTO position to
deactivate Rainsense.
To turn the Rainsense feature on or
off, see Rain Sense Wipers under
Vehicle Personalisation 0 127.
