Effects of vehicle speed on wiper opera-
■
tion (vehicles with rain-sensing wind-
shield wipers)
Vehicle speed affects the intermittent wiper
interval.
Raindrop sensor (vehicles with rain-
■
sensing windshield wipers)
The raindrop sensor judges the amount
●
of raindrops.
An optical sensor is adopted. It may not
operate properly when sunlight from the
rising or setting of the sun intermittently
strikes the windshield, or if bugs, etc. are
present on the windshield.
●
If the wiper switch is turned to the
position while the engine switch is in
IGNITION ON mode, the wipers will
operate once to show that AUTO mode
is activated.
●
If the temperature of the raindrop sensor
is 90°C (194°F) or higher, or -15°C (5°F)
or lower, automatic operation may not
occur. In this case, operate the wipers in
any mode other than AUTO mode.
