How to Use the Windshield Wiper/Washer Switch
Using the Auto Wipers (Some Models)
-
Indicator light
The indicator light of the lever turns on.
The windshield wipers operate automatically according to the rainfall amount.
Even if it is not raining, the windshield wipers may operate automatically in the following cases.
-
The area of the windshield above the rain sensor is touched or wiped with a cloth.
-
The windshield or the rain sensor area in the cabin is hit.
-
If a water repellent coating other than a genuine product is used, the rain sensor may not detect the rainfall amount correctly and the auto wipers may not operate normally. Do not use a water repellent coating other than a genuine product.
-
If dirt or ice is adheres to the top of the rain sensor on the windshield and the windshield wipers cannot remove the dirt or ice even after the wipers operate several times, the auto wipers will stop operating. If the auto wipers stopped, remove the dirt and ice from the windshield.
-
The auto wipers could operate from the effect of strong light sources, electromagnetic waves, or infrared light because the rain sensor uses an optical sensor. It is recommended that the auto-wiper lever be switched to the OFF position other than when driving the vehicle under rainy conditions.

Using temporarily
The windshield wipers operate while the lever is in the MIST position.
Set the lever to the MIST position and immediately release it to operate the windshield wipers only once.

Using the Windshield Washer
While the windshield wipers move out of their stowed positions to the point where they start reversing back, the washer fluid is sprayed and the wipers operate several times.
If you pull the wiper lever while the windshield wipers are reversing back to their stowed positions, the next time the washer fluid is sprayed is during the next cycle.
