CAUTION

• Do not operate the washer continuously for more than 30 seconds.
• Do not operate the washer if the reservoir tank is empty.
• Do not fill the window washer reservoir tank with washer fluid concentrates at full strength.

  Some methyl alcohol based washer fluid concentrates may permanently stain the grille if spilled while filling the window washer reservoir tank.

Rain-sensing auto wiper system (if so equipped)

The rain-sensing auto wiper system can automatically turn on the wipers and adjust the wiper speed depending on the rainfall and the vehicle speed by using the rain sensor located on the upper part of the windshield.

To set the rain-sensing auto wiper system, push the lever down to the "AUTO" position 1. The wiper will sweep once while the power switch is in the "ON" position.

The rain sensor sensitivity level can be adjusted by turning the knob toward 2 (Low) or (High).

• The rain-sensing auto wipers are intended for use during rain. If the switch is left in the "AUTO" position, the wipers may operate 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-sensing 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 operate if rain does not hit the rain sensor even if it is raining.
• Using genuine wiper blades is recommended for proper operation of the rain-sensing auto wiper system.
