Wipers and Washers WINDSHIELD WIPERS Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry windshield. This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper motor to burn out. Always use the windshield washers before wiping a dry windshield. Autowipers uses a rain sensor, located near the interior mirror. The rain sensor monitors the amount of moisture on the windshield. It turns on the wipers and adjusts the wiper speed by the amount of moisture that the sensor detects on the windshield. You can turn this feature on and off in the information display. See General Information (page 88). Keep the outside of the windshield clean. The rain sensor is very sensitive. If the area around the mirror is dirty, then the wipers may operate if dirt, mist or insects hit the windshield. Note: Fully defrost the windshield before you switch on the windshield wipers. Note: Make sure you switch off the windshield wipers before entering a car wash. E173262 AUTOWIPERS (If Equipped) E173262 Rotate the end of the control away from you to increase the speed of the wipers. Rotate toward you to decrease the speed of the wipers. Note: Fully defrost the windshield before switching on the windshield wipers. Note: Make sure you switch off the windshield wipers before entering a car wash. Note: Clean the windshield and wiper blades if they begin to leave streaks or smears. If that does not resolve the issue, install new wiper blades. Adjust the rotary control to increase or decrease the sensitivity of the rain sensor. On the lowest sensitivity setting, the wipers turn on when there is a large amount of moisture on the windshield. On the highest sensitivity setting, the wipers turn on when there is a small amount of moisture on the windshield. Note: Clean the windshield and wiper blades if they begin to leave streaks or smears. If that does not resolve the issue, install new wiper blades. Note: If you switch autolamps on in conjunction with autowipers, your low beam headlamps will turn on automatically when the rain sensor turns on the windshield wipers continuously. 69 MKS (), enUSA
