If the wiper switch is turned to the °AUTO± position while the °POWER± switch

is in ON mode, the wipers will operate once to show that AUTO mode is acti-

vated.

If the temperature of the raindrop sensor is 194

°

F (90

°

C) or higher, or 5

°

(-15

°

CAUTION

■

Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in °AUTO± mode (vehicles with

rain-sensing windshield wipers)

The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched or the

windshield is subject to vibration in °AUTO± mode. Take care that your fingers etc.

do not become caught in the windshield wipers.

●

The raindrop sensor judges the amount of

raindrops.

An optical sensor is adopted. It may not

operate properly when sunlight from the

rising or setting of the sun intermittently

strikes the windshield, or if bugs etc. are

present on the windshield.
