Auto-wiper control
When the wiper lever is in the
position, the rain sensor senses the amount
of rainfall on the windscreen and turns the
wipers on or off automatically (off—
intermittent—low speed—high speed).
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be
adjusted by turning the switch on the
wiper lever.
From the centre position (normal), rotate
the switch downward for higher sensitivity
(faster response) or rotate it upward for
less sensitivity (slower response).

CAUTION
Do not shade the rain sensor by
adhering a sticker or a label on the
windscreen. Otherwise the rain
