Fog light switch
To turn the front fog lights off, rotate the
fog light switch to the OFF position or
turn the headlights off.
NOTE
lThe fog lights will turn off when the
headlights are set at high beam.
l(With auto-light control)
If the headlight switch is in the
AUTO position, the front fog lights
can be turned on when the
headlights, the exterior lights and
dashboard illumination are on.
Windshield Wipers and
Washer
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position.
WARNING
Use only windshield washer fluid or
plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the windshield,
affect your visibility, and could result
in an accident.
Do not use the washer without first
warming the windshield and never use
plain tap water:
Using windshield washer fluid without
anti-freeze protection in freezing
temperatures is dangerous. The
washer fluid could freeze on the
windshield and block your vision. You
could have an accident.

CAUTION
lWhen the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position and the ignition
switch is in the ON position, the
wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
lIf the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched.
lIf the windshield above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
lIf the windshield is struck with a
hand or other object.
lIf the rain sensor is struck with a
hand or other object from inside
the vehicle.
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windshield when the ignition switch
is in the ON position as fingers
pinched or the wipers and wiper
blades damaged when they activate
automatically. If you are going to
clean the windshield, be sure the
wipers are turned off completely -
this is particularly important when
clearing ice and snow - when it is
particularly tempting to leave the
engine running.
NOTE
lThe auto-wiper control may not
operate when the rain sensor
temperature is about_
10 °C(14 °F)
or lower, or about 85 °C(185 °F) or
higher.
lIf the windshield is coated with
water repellent, the rain sensor may
not be able to sense the amount of
rainfall correctly and auto-wiper
control may not operate properly.
lIf dirt or foreign matter (e.g. ice or
matter containing salt water) adheres
to the windshield above the rain
sensor or if the windshield is iced, it
could cause the wipers to move
automatically. However, if the wipers
cannot remove this ice, dirt or
foreign matter, the auto-wiper
control will stop operation. In this
case, pull the wiper lever to the 1 or
2 position for manual operation, or
remove the ice, dirt or foreign matter
by hand to restore the auto-wiper
operation.
qWindshield Washer
