2020 Acura RDX Owners Manual - Wiper Operation



Wiper Operation

The windshield wipers and washers can be used when the vehicle is on.

 

■Front Wipers

Move the wiper lever up or down to the desired position.
  1. MIST
  2. OFF
  3. INT*1/AUTO*1
  4. LO: Low speed wipe
  5. HI: High speed wipe
 

■Headlight Integration with Wipers

When the headlights are in the AUTO position, they automatically turn on when the front wipers operate several times within a certain interval. The headlights turn off shortly after the wipers are turned off or if there is enough ambient light.

 

■Intermittent (INT) Wipers

When you move the lever to the INT position, the wipers operate based on the delay adjustment.

Rotate the adjustment ring to adjust the wiper delay.

 

■Automatic Intermittent Wipers

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.

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. To prevent damaging them, use the defroster to warm the windshield or manually clear off the snow or ice.
