Features of your vehicle
The more it rains, the faster the wiper
operates. 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 ignition switch is ON,
the wiper will operate once to per-
form a self-check of the system. Set
the wiper to OFF (O) position when
the wiper is not in use.
CAUTION
When the ignition switch is ON
and the windscreen wiper switch
is placed in the AUTO mode, use
caution in the following situa-
tions to avoid any injury to the
hands or other parts of the body:
• Do not touch the upper end of
the windscreen glass facing
the rain sensor.
• Do not wipe the upper end of
the windscreen glass with a
damp or wet cloth.
• Do not put pressure on the
windscreen glass.
