CAUTION!
Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the park position. If the wind-
shield wiper switch is turned off, and the
blades cannot return to the park position,
damage to the wiper motor may occur.

Rain Sensor

This feature senses moisture on the wind-
shield and automatically activates the wipers
for the driver. The feature is especially useful
for road splash or overspray from the wind-
shield washers of the vehicle ahead. Rotate
the end of the multifunction lever to one of
four settings to activate this feature.
Automatic Wiping
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted
with the multifunction lever. Wiper delay po-
sition one is the least sensitive, and wiper
delay position four is the most sensitive.
Setting three should be used for normal rain
conditions. Settings one and two can be used
if the driver desires less wiper sensitivity.
Setting four can be used if the driver desires
more sensitivity. Place the wiper switch in the
OFF position when not using the system.
