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
switch is placed in the AUTO
mode, use caution in the follow-
ing situations 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.
