Note: Fully defrost the windshield before
you switch the windshield wipers on.
Note: Make sure that you switch the
windshield wipers off before entering a car
wash.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. See Checking the Wiper
Blades (page 430). If that does not resolve
the issue, install new wiper blades. See
Changing the Front Wiper Blades (page
430).
Autowipers uses a rain sensor in the area
around the interior mirror. The wipers
operate when the rain sensor detects
water on the windshield in front of it. The
rain sensor continues to monitor the
amount of water and adjusts the speed of
the wipers.
Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windshield. This may scratch the glass or
damage the wiper blades. Always use the
windshield washers before wiping a dry
windshield.
You can switch autowipers on or off in the
information display.
Note: If you switch autowipers off in the
information display, the windshield wipers
operate in intermittent mode.

Wipers and Washers
If you leave autowipers on, it may not
operate when you switch the ignition on
during freezing temperatures. This is
because the system has deactivated the
rain sensor to prevent damage to the
windshield wipers. Defrost the windshield
before reactivating the rain sensor. You
can reactivate the rain sensor by moving
the rotary control or switching autowipers
off and on.
Note: Fully defrost the windshield before
you switch the windshield wipers on.

clean. The rain sensor is very sensitive and
the wipers may operate if dirt, mist or
insects hit the windshield.
