BEFORE DRIVING Rain-sensing Wipers (if equipped) WARNING MIST OFF AUTO LO HI 57L21072 57L21071 Press the engine switch to change the ignition mode to "ON". To turn the rain-sensing wipers on, move the lever down to one of the three operating positions. In the "AUTO" position (if provided), the wipers automatically operate when the wiper system senses rain or snow. In the "LO" position, the wipers operate at a steady low speed. In the "HI" position, the wipers operate at a steady high speed. To turn off the wipers, move the lever back to the "OFF" position. Move the lever up and hold it to the "MIST" position; the wipers will operate continuously at low speed for as long as you hold the lever in the "MIST" position. If the control lever has on "AUTO" position, you can increase the system's sensitivity to rain/snow by turning the knob of the control lever forward for increased sensitivity or rearward for decreased sensitivity. • Observe the following instructions when the wiper lever is set to the "AUTO" position with the engine switch in the "ON" mode. Otherwise, the wipers could unexpectedly operate and cause injury, and could also be damaged. - Do not touch or wipe the rain sensor area of the windshield with a cloth. - Do not hit the windshield or rain sensor. • Be sure to set the wiper control lever to the "OFF" position before washing the vehicle in an automatic car wash or cleaning the windshield. NOTE: • Under the following conditions, the rain sensor may not be able to sense rain or snow correctly, and thus the rain-sensing wiper function may not work or may work incorrectly. (Use a position other than "AUTO" under these conditions.) - Rain or snow does not hit the rain sensor area of the windshield, or the snow is not of a type that is able to be detected by the sensor. - The rain sensor area is covered with mud, ice or other similar substance. You should remove any foreign substance. 2-108
