unexpectedly when dirt, fingerprints, oil film
or insects are stuck on or around the sensor.
The wipers may also operate when exhaust
gas or moisture affect the rain sensor.
. When the windshield glass is coated with
water repellent, the speed of the rain-sen-
sing auto wipers may be higher even though
the amount of the rainfall is small.
. Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing auto
wiper system when you use a car wash.
. The rain-sensing auto wipers may not oper-
ate if rain does not hit the rain sensor even if
it is raining.
