NOTICE
When cleaning the inside of the windshield, make
sure that the automatic wiper control sensor does
not come into contact with the cleaning agent or
moisture.
You can adjust the sensitivity of the automatic wiper

raindrops to start the wipers.

If the windshield wipers are turned off, they will perform
several wipes after the wash.

automatic control may not work even if there are
raindrops on the windshield.

washer lever toward you while the headlights are on,
the headlight washer will automatically perform one
spray along with the windshield washer.
In that case, move the lever to another position and
return it to position 1.
Instructions for topping up washer fluid - see "Topping
up washer fluid" on page 392 in Chapter 7ÿ3.
Before using the washer in freezing weather, warm the
windshield with the defroster.
This will help prevent the washer fluid from freezing on
the windshield, which could obstruct your view.
