Automatic Intermittent Wipers*
When you move the lever to the AUTO position
while driving in rainy weather, the wipers operate
based on the amount of detected rainfall.
Put the lever in the AUTO position only when
driving in rainy weather.
Rotate the adjustment ring to adjust the rainfall
sensor sensitivity.
Return the lever to the OFF position when rain
stops.
NOTICE
To prevent severe damage to the windshield wiper system, ensure the wiper lever
is in the OFF position before entering a car wash or cleaning the windshield.
NOTICE
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get
scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged.
In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the windshield, becoming stuck.
Operating the wipers in this condition may damage the wipers. Use the defroster
to warm the windshield, or manually clear the windshield of ice and snow before
turning on the wipers.
One-Touch Turn Signal
Use this quick and convenient method to signal a lane change.
Lightly push the turn signal lever up or down for a
three-blink sequence.
For a continuous signal, push the lever up or down
until it locks into place.

Adjusting the Seats
Make seat adjustments before driving to ensure the best comfort and safety.
Adjusting the Front Seats
Adjust the driver's seat as far back as possible while
allowing you to maintain full control of the vehicle.
You should be able to sit upright and well back in the
seat, adequately press the pedals without leaning
forward, and grip the steering wheel comfortably.
The passenger's seat should be adjusted so that it
is as far back from the front airbag in the dashboard
as possible.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada
recommend that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the
steering wheel and the chest.
