RAIN-SENSING AUTO WIPER SYSTEM
The rain-sensing auto wiper system can auto-
matically 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 INT (intermittent) position
s
1
. The wiper will sweep once while the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
The rain sensor sensitivity level can be adjusted
by turning the knob toward the front
s
2
(High)
or toward the rear
s
3
(Low).
●
High — High sensitive operation
●
Low — Low sensitive operation
To turn the rain-sensing auto wiper system off,
push up the lever to the OFF position, or pull
down the lever to the LO or HI position.
CAUTION
Do not touch the rain sensor and around it when
the wiper switch is in the INT position and the
ignition switch is in the ON position. The wipers
may operate unexpectedly and cause to an in-
jury or a wiper damage.
●
The rain-sensing auto wipers are intended for
use during rain. If the switch is left in the INT
position, the wipers may operate unexpect-
edly when dirt, fingerprints, oil film or insects
are stuck on or around the sensor. The wipers
may also operate when exhaust gas or mois-
ture affect the rain sensor.
●
The rain-sensing auto wipers may not oper-
ate if rain does not hit the rain sensor even if
it is raining.
To defog/defrost the rear window glass and
outside mirrors (if so equipped with defroster),
start the engine and push the switch on. The
indicator light
s

will come on. Push the switch
again to turn the defroster off.
It will automatically turn off in approximately 15
minutes.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inner side of the rear win-
dow, be careful not to scratch or damage the
rear window defroster.
