57L20-03E
– There were already raindrops on the
windshield before starting rain-sensing
wiper operation. You should remove
the raindrops by operating the wipers
under manual control.
– The rain sensor is hotter than 80°C
(176°F) in the sun or lower than –10°C
(14°F) in freezing weather. (The wip-
ers do not operate under this condi-
tion.)
– The windshield is coated with a water-
repellent substance, which causes
raindrops to run down quickly. This will
give a clearer view and the wipers may
seem to operate too frequently. In this
case, decrease the system’s sensitiv-
ity.
– The sensor area is covered with a
sticker.
– The wiper blades are damaged. You
should replace them.
 The following conditions may indicate
problems with the rain-sensing wiper
system. If your system exhibits any of
the following conditions, have it
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer.
– Rainfall/snowfall rate varies but the
wiping interval remains constant.
– Rain/snow is falling but the wipers do
not operate.Reprogramming the Rain-sensing
Wiper Function
The AUTO position operation of the rain-
sensing wiper function can be customized
to your preference by reprogramming its
setting as follows. Please contact an
authorized SUZUKI dealer for this customi-
zation.
Semi-automatic wiping
The system automatically selects the most
appropriate of the following wiping modes:
intermittent wiping, low-speed wiping, or
high-speed wiping. (The wipers do not stop
automatically.)
Intermittent wiping
The wipers operate only in the intermittent
wiping mode. The wiping interval can be
changed with the ring control (3).
Full-automatic wiping (factory setting)
The system automatically selects the most
appropriate of the following wiping modes,
no wiping, intermittent wiping, low-speed
wiping, and high-speed wiping.
Windshield Washer
57L21073
To spray windshield washer fluid, pull the
lever toward you. The windshield wipers
will automatically turn on at low speed.
WARNING
 To prevent windshield icing in cold
weather, turn on the defroster to
heat the windshield before and dur-
ing windshield washer use.
 Do not use radiator antifreeze in
the windshield washer reservoir. It
can severely impair visibility when
sprayed on the windshield, and can
also damage your vehicle’s paint.EXAMPLE

lowing precautions:
 Do not continue to hold in the lever
when there is no windshield
washer fluid being sprayed or the
washer motor can be damaged.
 Do not attempt to remove dirt from
a dry windshield with the wipers or
you can damage the windshield
and the wiper blades. Always wet
the windshield with washer fluid
before operating the wipers.

wiper blades before using the wip-
ers.
 Check the washer fluid level regu-
larly. Check it often when the
weather is bad.
 Only fill the washer fluid reservoir
3/4 full during cold weather to allow
room for expansion if the tempera-
ture falls low enough to freeze the
solution.
