When lifting the wiper arms, move them into the maintenance position before lifting them.
NOTICE
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry.
The windshield will get scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged.
Turn the washers off if no washer fluid comes out.
The pump may get damaged.
If the vehicle speeds up while the wipers are operating intermittently, the length of the wipeinterval shortens.
When the vehicle speeds up, the wiper operation’s shortest delay setting 
and the LO setting become the same.
NOTICE
In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the windshield.
Operating the wipers in this condition may damage the wipers. Use the defogger or heated windshield* to warm the windshield, then turn the wipers on.
If the wipers stop operating due to an obstacle such as the buildup of snow, park the vehicle in a safe place.
Rotate the wiper switch to OFF, set the power mode to ACCESSORY or VEHICLE OFF, then remove the obstacle.
Automatic Intermittent Wipers
When you push the lever down to AUTO, the windshield wipers sweep once, and go into the automatic mode.
The wipers operate intermittently, at low speed, or at high speed and stop in accordance with the amount of rainfall the rainfall sensor detects.
Auto sensitivity adjustment
When the wiper function is set to AUTO, you can adjust the sensitivity of the rainfall sensor (using the adjustment ring) so that wipers will operate in accordance with your preference.
