1. WIPER CONTROL
2. CAUTIONS ON RAIN SENSOR
When the wiper switch is in the AUTO position, the wiper will operate for 1 cycle if the initial engine
start is made. This may cause the wiper blades to wear prematurely. Therefore, other than rainy
days, set the switch to the OFF position. Especially during the winter time, check if the wiper blades
are not frozen to the windshield.
Operating the wiper with the blades frozen can damage the wiper motor.
If you operate the wipers when the windshield is dry without spraying washer fluid, the windshield
can be scratched and the wiper blades can wear prematurely. Use the wiper with the washer fluid
when the windshield is dry.
When it does not rain, turn the wiper switch to the OFF position.
Turn the wiper switch to the OFF position before any car wash to avoid unwanted operation of the
wipers. -

Check if the rain sensor cover is securely installed.
Check if the customer is familiar to how to control the wiper sensitivity.
Check if the wiper sensitivity control is set to the FAST side (step 5).
Check the wiper blade for wear.
If the wiper blade cannot wipe the glass uniformly and clearly, it may cause the rain sensor to
work irregularly. Therefore, in this case, replace the wiper blade with a new one. -

- Irregular operation (abrupt operation) ▶ When cleaning the windshield over the sensor with damp clothes, the wiper may operate suddenly. It

C. General Warnings for Air Bag
Do not check the circuits with a circuit tester. Do not attempt to modify any air bag component
including the steering wheel, air bag mountings and related wirings.
Do not subject any air bag component, such as the steering wheel, air bag mountings, wirings, to
impacts. You might get severely injured by sudden deployment of the air bag.
As the air bag/seat belt pretensioner parts are very hot after being deployed. Allow them to cool
down sufficiently before touching them.
The deployed air bag/seat belt pretensioner cannot deploy again. It will work when an additional
impact is applied. The components of the deployed air bag/seat belt pretensioner are non-reusable
parts. Therefore, remove or replace them as a unit.
The air bag and seat belt pretensioner systems contain explosive charges, so handle carefully when

motor. Therefore, operate the seat switch only one at a time.
Do not use organic solvents such as benzene, thinner, alcohol or gasoline to prevent the seat cove
r
from being damaged while cleaning.
Do not operate the seat position adjustment switch forcefully when the seat does not move or it
contacts an object.
If the power seat is not operated, check and correct the problem before driving off. ▷
