CAUTION  
When washing the vehicle, set the  
wiper switch in the OFF position to  
stop the auto wiper operation.  
The wiper may operate and be dam-  
aged if the switch is set in the AUTO  
mode while washing the vehicle.  
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO mode  
when the ignition switch is ON, the wiper  
will operate once to perform a self-check  
of the system. Set the wiper to OFF posi-  
tion when the wiper is not in use.  
Do not remove the sensor cover  
located on the upper end of the pas-  
senger side windshield glass.  
Damage to system parts could  
occur and may not be covered by  
your vehicle warranty.  
When starting the vehicle in winter,  
set the wiper switch in the OFF  
position. Otherwise, wipers may  
operate and ice may damage the  
windshield wiper blades. Always  
remove all snow and ice and defrost  
the windshield properly prior to  
operating the windshield wipers.  
CAUTION  
When the ignition switch is ON and  
the windshield wiper switch is  
placed in the AUTO mode, use cau-  
tion in the following situations to  
avoid any injury to the hands or  
other parts of the body:  
Rain sensor  
OXM049123  
Auto control (if equipped)  
The rain sensor located on the upper end  
of the windshield glass senses the  
amount of rainfall and controls the wiping  
cycle for the proper interval. The more it  
rains, the faster the wiper operates. When  
the rain stops, the wiper stops.  
• Do not touch the upper end of the  
windshield glass facing the rain  
sensor.  
• Do not wipe the upper end of the  
windshield glass with a damp or  
wet cloth.  
• Do not put pressure on the wind-  
shield glass.
