■Automatic Intermittent Wipers - With automatic intermittent wipers *6

When you move the lever to the AUTO position while driving in rainy weather, the wipers operate based on the amount of detected rainfall.

Rotate the adjustment ring to adjust the rainfall sensor sensitivity. Set the wipers to OFF when the rain stops.

Notice Ensure the wiper lever is in the OFF position before entering a car wash or cleaning the windshield. Wiper-system damage may happen otherwise.
Notice Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged.

In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the windshield, becoming stuck. Operating the wipers in this condition may damage the wipers. Use the defroster to warm the windshield, or manually clear the windshield of ice and snow before turning on the wipers.

When you push the lever down to AUTO, the windshield wipers sweep once, and go into the automatic mode.

The wipers operate intermittently, at low speed, or at high speed and stops in accordance with the amount of rainfall the rainfall sensor detects.
