Vehicles without a smart key system

The engine switch is in the "ON" position.

Vehicles with a smart key system

The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.

■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers) Even when the wipers are not in "AUTO" mode, wiper operation varies depending on vehicle speed when the washer is being used (delay until drip prevention wiper sweep occurs).

■Raindrop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)

• The raindrop sensor judges the amount of raindrops.

  An optical sensor is adopted. It may not operate properly when sunlight from the rising or setting of the sun intermittently strikes the windshield, or if bugs, etc., are present on the windshield.

• If the wiper switch is turned to the "AUTO" position while the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode, the wiper will operate once to show that "AUTO" mode is activated.
• If the temperature of the raindrop sensor is 194ºF (90ºC) or higher, or 5ºF (-15ºC) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate the wipers in any mode other than "AUTO".

■If no windshield washer fluid sprays Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
