The rain sensor (A) located on the upper
end of the windshield glass senses the
amount of rainfall and controls the wip-
ing cycle for the proper interval. The
more it rains, the faster the wiper oper-
ates. 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 sys-
tem. Set the wiper to the OFF position
when the wiper is not in use.
WARNING
When the ENGINE START/STOP button
is in the ON position and the windshield
wiper switch is placed in AUTO mode,
use caution in the following situations to
avoid any injury to the hands or other
parts of the body:
僅 Do not touch the upper end of the
windshield glass facing the rain sen-
sor.
僅 Do not wipe the upper end of the
windshield glass with a damp or wet
cloth.
僅 Do not put pressure on the windshield
glass.
