LIGHT-EMITTING DIODES WASHER/WIPER SYSTEM Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) installed
behind translucent lenses serve as the light
source for many of the controls and dis-
plays in your vehicle. These light-emitting
diodes are related to conventional lasers,
and legislation defines them as light-emit-
ting diodes, Class 1.
Do not remove the protective lens
and avoid staring directly at the unfil-
tered beam for several hours, as inflamma-
tion of the iris could result.<

The interval time for the wipers is depen-
dent on the vehicle speed.
Rain sensor*The rain sensor is located on the wind-
shield, directly in front of the interior rear-
view mirror.
When the rain sensor is activated, the
windshield wipers are automatically con-
trolled depending on the amount of water
or snow landing on the windshield.
To activate the rain sensor:
From ignition key position 1:
Lever in position 1.
The wipers move across the windshield
