Wipers and washers

2C_WiperSwitchOverview

A. Wiper speed control

  • HI: High wiper speed.

  • LO: Low wiper speed.

  • INT: Wiper operates intermittently at the same wiping intervals. To vary the speed setting, turn the speed control knob.

    AUTO: 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.

  • OFF: Off

  • MIST: Single wipe

B. Intermittent or Auto control wipe time adjustment

C. Wash with brief wipes (front)

If there is heavy accumulation of snow or ice on the windscreen, defrost the windscreen for about 10 minutes, or until the snow and/or ice is removed before using the windscreen wipers to ensure proper operation.

If you do not remove the snow and/or ice before using the wiper and washer, it may damage the wiper and washer system.

AUTO (Automatic) control

2C_RainSensor

The rain sensor located at the top of the windscreen glass senses the amount of rainfall and controls the wiping cycle.

To change the sensitivity setting, turn the sensitivity control knob.

If the wipers switch is set in AUTO mode when the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position, the wipers will operate once to perform a self-check of the system. Set the wipers to the OFF position when the wipers are not in use.

To prevent personal injury:

  • Do not touch the top of the windscreen glass facing the rain sensor.

  • Do not wipe the top of the windscreen glass with a damp or wet cloth.

  • Do not put pressure on the windscreen glass.

  • When washing the vehicle, set the wipers switch in the OFF position to stop the wipers operation.

  • When washing the vehicle, the sensor may automatically operate the wipers if you set the wipers switch in the AUTO position. It may damage the wipers.

  • Set the wipers switch in the OFF position when the windscreen is frosted. Wipers may automatically operate, and it may damage the wiper blades.

  • Do not remove the sensor cover located at the top of the passenger side windscreen glass.

  • Because of using a photo sensor, temporary malfunction could occur according to sudden ambient light changes made by stones and dust whilst driving.
