Wiper and Washer Switch

• Do not open/release the bonnet when the front wiper arms are raised from their original position.
• Do not operate the washer continuously for more than 15 seconds.
• Do not operate the washer if the reservoir tank is empty or frozen.

The windscreen wiper and washer can be operated when the ignition is ON.

Wiper Operation

Move the lever up or down to operate the wiper at the following speeds:

• Intermittent (Type A) or <AUTO> — Type B (where fitted) operates the rain-sensing auto wipers system.
  • The intermittent operation speed can be adjusted by rotating the ring forward (slower) or backward (faster).
  • The wiper operation speed will vary in accordance with the vehicle speed in the <AUTO> position.
• Low — for continuous low speed operation.
• High — for continuous high speed operation.
• Single sweep — for a single wipe operation.

The selected position of the wiper switch is briefly shown in the vehicle information display.

Washer Operation

Pull the lever towards you to operate the washer.

Wiper Drip Wipe System (where fitted)

The wiper will also operate once about 3 seconds after using the washer. This operation is to wipe washer fluid that has dripped onto the windscreen.

Rain Sensor (where fitted)

The sensor of the rain-sensing auto wiper system, located on the upper part of the windscreen in front of the rear view mirror, can automatically turn on the wipers and adjust the wiper speed depending on the rainfall intensity and the vehicle speed when the lever is in the <AUTO> position.

The sensitivity can be adjusted by rotating the ring forward — less sensitive, or backward — more sensitive.

Note

• Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing auto wiper system when the car is in the car wash.
• Leaving the lever in the <AUTO> position will not harm the rain sensor system, although occasional unexpected activation of the wipers may occur.
• If the switch is left in the <AUTO> position, the wipers may operate unexpectedly when dirt, fingerprints, oil film or insects are covering the windscreen at the rain sensor location. The wipers may also operate when exhaust gas or moisture affects the rain sensor.
• Do not touch or cover the windscreen where the rain sensor is located. The wipers may operate unexpectedly when the switch is in the <AUTO> position and the ignition is ON. This can cause injury or may damage a wiper.
