Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the rain sensor. With low
sensitivity, the wipers will operate when
the sensor detects a large amount of
moisture on the windshield. With high
sensitivity, the wipers will operate when
the sensor detects a small amount of
moisture on the windshield.

Keep the outside of the windshield clean
because the rain sensor is very sensitive. If
the area around the interior mirror is dirty,
then the wipers may turn on, for example,
if dirt, mist or insects hit the windshield.

WINDSHIELD WASHERS

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 washer before wiping a dry
windshield.

Note: Do not operate the washers when
the washer reservoir is empty. This may
cause the washer pump to overheat.

E172818

A brief press causes a single wipe
without washer fluid.

A brief press and hold causes the
wipers to swipe three times with
washer fluid.

A long press and hold will turn on the
wipers and washer fluid for up to 10
seconds.

A wipe will occur a few seconds after
washing to clear any remaining washer
fluid. You can switch this feature on or off
in the information display. See
Information Displays (page 105).
