AUTOWIPERS (If Equipped)
Wet or winter driving conditions with ice,snow or salty road mist can causeinconsistent and unexpected wiping orsmearing.
Autowipers On.A
High sensitivity.B
Low sensitivity.C
Use the rotary control to adjust thesensitivity of the autowipers.
When you select low sensitivity, the wipersoperate when the sensor detects a largeamount of water on the windshield. Whenyou select high sensitivity, the wipersoperate when the sensor detects a smallamount of water on the windshield.
Keep the outside of the windshield clean. The rain sensor is very sensitive and thewipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects hitthe windshield.
In these conditions, you can do the following:
•Lower the sensitivity of the autowipersto reduce the amount of smearing on thewindshield.
•Switch to normal or high-speed wipe.
•Switch autowipers off.
Note:Fully defrost the windshield before youswitch the windshield wipers on.
Note:Make sure that you switch thewindshield wipers off before entering a carwash.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on thewindshield, clean the windshield and thewiper blades. If that does not resolve theissue, install new wiper blades.
Note:If you switch autolamps andautowipers on, the headlamps turn on whenthe windshield wipers continuously operate.
Autowipers Settings
