High sensitivity.
A
On.B
Low sensitivity.
C
During wet or winter driving conditions
where ice, snow or a salty road mist is
present, 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 on
the windshield.
• Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.
• Switch autowipers off.
Autowipers uses a rain sensor located in
the area around the interior mirror. The
wipers will operate when the rain sensor
detects water on the windshield. The rain
sensor will continue to monitor the amount
of water on the windshield and
automatically adjust the speed of the
wipers.
Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the autowipers. When you
select low sensitivity, the wipers will
operate when the sensor detects a large
amount of water on the windshield. When
you select high sensitivity, the wipers will
operate when the sensor detects a small
amount of water on the windshield. Keep the outside of the windshield clean.
The rain sensor is very sensitive and the
wipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects
hit the windshield.
Note:
Make sure you switch the windshield
wipers off before entering a car wash.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. If that does not resolve the
issue, install new wiper blades.
Note: If you switch autolamps and
autowipers on, the headlamps will
automatically turn on when the windshield
wipers continuously operate.
WINDSHIELD WASHERS Pull the lever toward you to operate the
windshield washers. When you release the
lever, wiping will continue for a short period
of time.
Note:
Do not operate the washers when
the washer reservoir is empty. This may
cause the washer pump to overheat.
Note: Do not operate the windshield
washers for more than 10 seconds at a time.

spark plug wire or spark plug well, or
the area in and around these locations.

tree sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, clean
the entire windshield using steel wool
(no greater than 0000 grade) in a
circular motion and rinse with water.
• Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl
rubbing alcohol or windshield washer
fluid.
Note: Do not use razor blades or other
sharp objects to clean or remove decals
from the inside of the heated rear window.
The vehicle warranty does not cover
damage caused to the heated rear window
grid lines.

sanitizers to spill on interior surfaces. If a
spill occurs, wipe off immediately. Damage
