(if equipped)
Windscreen washers
The rain sensor located at the top of the
windscreen glass senses the amount of
rainfall and controls the wiping cycle for
the proper interval. The wiper operation
time will be automatically controlled,
depending on rainfall.
When the rain stops, the wiper stops. To
vary the speed setting, turn the speed
control knob.
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO mode
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the wiper will operate once to
perform a self-check of the system. Set
the wiper to the OFF position when the
wiper is not in use.

In the OFF (O) position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windscreen and to run the
wipers 1-3 cycles. The spray and wiper
operation will continue until you release
the lever. If the washer does not work,
you may need to add washer fluid to the
washer fluid reservoir.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury from the
windscreen wipers, when the engine
is running and the windscreen wiper
switch is placed in the AUTO mode:
Do not touch the upper end of the
windscreen glass facing the rain sensor.
Do not wipe the top of the windscreen
glass with a damp or wet cloth.
Do not put pressure on the windscreen
glass.
WARNING
When the outside temperature is
below freezing, ALWAYS warm the
windscreen using the defroster to
prevent the washer fluid from freezing
on the windscreen and obscuring your
vision which could result in an accident
and serious injury or death.
