Hyundai Equus 2016 Owner's Manual

Auto control
The rain sensor located on the upper
end of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls the
wiping cycle at the proper interval.
The more it rains, the faster the wiper
operates. When the rain stops, the
wiper stops. To vary the speed set-
ting, turn the speed control knob (B).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when the Engine Start/Stop
Button is ON, the wiper will operate
once to perform a self-check of the
system. Set the wiper to OFF position
when the wiper is not in use.
When the Engine Start/Stop
Button is ON and the windshield
wiper switch is placed in the AUTO
mode, use caution in the following
situations to avoid any injury to
the hands or other parts of the
body:
Do not touch the upper end ofthe windshield glass facing the
rain sensor.
Do not wipe the upper end of the windshield glass with a damp or
wet cloth.
Do not put pressure on the windshield glass. When washing the vehicle, set the
wiper switch in the OFF position
to stop the auto wiper operation.
The wiper may operate and be
damaged if the switch is set in the
AUTO mode while washing the
vehicle.
Do not remove the sensor cover
located on the upper end of the
passenger side windshield glass.
The system parts may be dam-
aged and may not be covered by
your vehicle warranty.
When starting the vehicle in win-
ter, set the wiper switch in the OFF
position. Otherwise, wipers may
operate and ice may damage the
windshield wiper blades. Always
remove all snow and ice and
defrost the windshield properly
prior to operating the windshield
wipers.
