Windshield Wiper And Washer Switches - Subaru WRX-STI Owner's Manual

– The wipers do not operate if the
rain light sensor does not detect
rain or snow. If necessary, push the
wiper control lever down to the low
speed position or high speed posi-
tion.
– The wipers may not operate
properly if the rain light sensor
does not detect the amount of rain-
drops because of the water-repel-
lent coating on the windshield, or
dirt or ice on the upper half of the
windshield.
– The rain light sensor may be
malfunctioning if the wiper intermit-
tent operation does not vary de-
pending on the amount of rainfall. If
necessary, turn the wiper switch to
any position except for the "AUTO"
position. We recommend that you
contact your SUBARU dealer and
have the system inspected as soon
as possible.
– The wipers stop operation if the
ambient temperature decreases to
−158C (58F) or lower. The wipers
resume operation when the ambient
temperature increases to −108C
(148F) or higher. If you need to
operate the wipers under −158C
(58F), push the wiper control lever
down to the low speed position or
high speed position.
– The wipers may not operate if the
temperature around the rain light
sensor is more than 808C (1768F)
because the system cannot detect
the amount of raindrops under
these temperatures.
. This system is also equipped with
the vehicle speed interlocking intermit-
tent wiper function. When the vehicle
stops, the wiper operation interval will
become longer compared with that
while driving.
. This system may malfunction in a
location with strong radio waves or
noise.
