Autowipers uses a rain sensor located in

the area around the interior mirror. The rain

sensor monitors the amount of moisture

on the windshield and automatically turns

the wipers on. It will adjust the wiper speed

by the amount of moisture that the sensor

detects on the windshield.

Use the rotary control to adjust the

sensitivity of the autowipers. When you

select low sensitivity, the wipers will

operate when the sensor detects a large

amount of water on the windshield. When

you select high sensitivity, the wipers will

operate when the sensor detects a small

amount of water on the windshield.
