Auto control (if equipped)
The rain sensor located on the upper end
of the windscreen glass senses the
amount of rainfall and controls the wiping
cycle for the proper interval. 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 ignition switch is turned ON when
the wiper switch is set in AUTO mode, or
the wiper switch is set in AUTO mode
when the ignition switch is ON, or the
speed control knob is turned upward
when the wiper switch is in AUTO mode,
the wiper will operate once to perform a
self-check of the system. Set the wiper to
O position when the wiper is not in use.
