Autowipers (If Equipped)
Note:
Make sure you switch off the windshield wipers before entering a car wash.
Note:
Install new wiper blades as soon as they begin to leave bands of water and smears on the windshield.
Note:
When the autowipers detect enough moisture on the windshield for normal speed wipe and you have the autolamps switched on, the low-beam headlamps also turn on.
Note:
During wet or winter driving conditions with ice, snow or a salty road mist, inconsistent or unexpected wiping or smearing may occur.
In these conditions, you can do the following:- Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers to reduce the amount of smearing.
- Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.
- Switch the autowipers off.
A High sensitivityB OnC Low sensitivity |
The rain sensor monitors the amount of moisture on the windshield and turns the wipers on. It adjusts the wiper speed by the amount of moisture that the sensor detects on the windshield.
Use the rotary control to adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor. Set the control to low sensitivity, and the wipers turn on when the rain sensor detects a large amount of moisture on the windshield. Set the control to high sensitivity, and the wipers turn on when the rain sensor detects a small amount of moisture on the windshield.
Keep the outside of the windshield clean because the rain sensor is very sensitive. If the area around the interior mirror is dirty, then the wipers may turn on, for example, if dirt, mist or insects hit the windshield.
