WINDSHIELD WIPERS

Note: Fully defrost the windshield before
you switch the windshield wipers on.
Note: Make sure you switch the windshield
wipers and vehicle power off before using
an automatic car wash.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. See Checking the Wiper
Blades (page 224). If that does not resolve
the issue, install new wiper blades. See
Changing the Wiper Blades (page 224).
Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windshield. This may scratch the glass,
damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper
motor to burn out. Always use the
windshield washers before wiping a dry
windshield.

AUTOWIPERS

Note: Fully defrost the windshield before
you switch the windshield wipers on.
Note: Make sure you switch the windshield
wipers and ignition off before using an
automatic car wash.
Autowipers uses a rain sensor located in
the area around the interior mirror. The rain
sensor monitors the amount of moisture
on the windshield and automatically turns
the wipers on. It will adjust the wiper speed
by the amount of moisture that the sensor
detects on the windshield.
