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.
Intermittent (INT) Wipers*1
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 (AUTO) Intermittent Wipers*2
When you move the lever to the AUTO position while driving in rainy weather, the wipers operate based on the amount of detected rainfall.
Put the lever in the AUTO position only when driving in rainy weather.
Rotate the adjustment ring to adjust the rainfall sensor sensitivity.
Return the lever to the OFF position when rain stops.
Always ensure the wiper lever is in the OFF position before cleaning the windshield or entering a car wash. Otherwise, severe damage may occur to the windshield wiper system.
*1 models without automatic intermittent wipers
*2 models with automatic intermittent wipers
Rear Wiper
When you shift to Reverse (R) and the front wipers are activated, the rear wiper activates even if the switch is off.
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 or heated windshield button* to warm the windshield, or manually clear the windshield of ice and snow before turning on the wipers.
