Washer/wiper dual oper-
ation
Pulling the lever operates the
wipers and washer.
Wipers will automatically operate a
couple of times after the washer
squirts.
■ The windshield wipers and washers can be operated when
The power switch is in ON mode.
■ Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation
Vehicle speed affects the Intermittent wiper interval.
■ Raindrop sensor
●If the wiper switch is turned to the “AUTO” position while the power switch is
in ON mode, the wipers will operate once to show that “AUTO” mo de is acti-
vated.
● If the temperature of the raindrop sensor is 194 F (90 C) or higher, or 5 F
(-15 C) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, o perate
the wipers in any mode other than “AUTO” mode.
■ If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked, if there is wash er fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
● The raindrop sensor judges the amount
of raindrops.
An optical sensor is adopted. It may not
operate properly when sunlight from the
rising or setting of the sun intermittently
strikes the windshield, or if bugs, etc.,
are present on the windshield.
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in “AUTO” mode
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or

fingers, etc., do not become caught in the windshield wipers.
■ Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshie ld becomes
warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visi bility. This
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

front camera is outside of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehi-
cle is in the sun or in an extremely
cold environment
If the front camera is hot, such as
after the vehicle had been parked in
the sun, use the air conditioning sys-
tem to decrease the temperature
around the front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the
vehicle was parked, depending on its
type, the sunlight reflected from the
surface of the sunshade may cause
the temperature of the front camera
to become excessively high.
If the front camera is cold, such after
the vehicle is parked in an extremely
cold environment, use the air condi-
tioning system to increase the tem-
perature around the front camera.
