When you move the lever to the AUTO position while driving in rainy weather, the wipers operate based on the amount of detected rainfall.
Rotate the adjustment ring to adjust the rainfall sensor sensitivity. Set the wipers to OFF when the rain stops.
Ensure the wiper lever is in the OFF position before entering a car wash or cleaning the windshield. Wiper-system damage may happen otherwise.
Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged. In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the windshield. To prevent damaging them, use the defroster to warm the windshield or manually clear off the snow or ice.
