AUTO control (if equipped)
The rain sensor located on the upper end of the windshield glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls
the wiping cycle for the proper inter-
val. The more it rains, the faster the
wiper operates. When the rain stops,
the wiper stops. To vary the speed
setting, turn the speed control knob
(1). If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when ignition switch is in the
ON position, the wiper will operate
once to perform a self-check of the
system. Set the wiper to OFF posi-
tion when the wiper is not in use.To avoid personal injury from
the windshield wipers, when theengine is running and the wind-
shield wiper switch is placed in
the AUTO mode:
Do not touch the upper end of the 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.
WARNING
If there is heavy accumulation
of snow or ice on the wind-
shield, defrost the windshield
for about 10 minutes, or until
the snow and/or ice is
removed before using the
windshield wipers to ensure
proper operation.
When you operate the wipers,
if your vehicle has a problem
in any part of the wiper opera-
tion system, the wiper mayoperate in the LO mode
regardless of the wiper switch
position. In this case, have
your vehicle checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer
as soon as possible.
When the engine is turned off,
the wiper blade sometimes
may move slightly to helpreduce the deterioration of the
windshield wipers.

Front windshield washers
In the OFF position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windshield and to run the
wipers 1- 3 cycles.
The spray and wiper operation will
continue until you release the lever. If
the washer does not work, you may
need to add washer fluid to the
washer fluid reservoir.When the outside temperature is
below freezing, ALWAYS warmthe windshield using the
defroster to prevent the washer
fluid from freezing on the wind-
shield and obscuring your vision
which could result in an acci-
dent and serious injury or death.
WARNING
To prevent possible damage
to the washer pump, do notoperate the washer when the
fluid reservoir is empty.
To prevent damage to the wiper arms and other compo-
nents, do not attempt to move
the wipers manually or oper-
ate the wipers when the wind-
shield is dry.
CAUTION
When washing the vehicle, set
the wiper switch to the OFFposition to stop the auto wiper
operation. The wiper may oper-
ate 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. Damage to
system parts could occur.

Maintenance
WWIIPP EERR BB LLAA DDEESS
Blade inspection
Contamination of either the wind-
shield or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windshield wipers.Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax
treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not
wiping properly, clean both the win-
dow and the blades with a clean
cloth dampened with washer fluid.
✽✽
NOTICE
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windshield diffi-
cult to clean.
