Automatic Intermittent Wipers
Touring Model
When the system senses rainfall, it

turns on the windshield wipers and
varies their speed (intermittent, low
speed, or high speed) depending on
how hard it is raining.
When the rotary switch is in the
(low speed) or
(high speed)
position, the windshield wipers run
at that speed. Automatic sensing is
disabled.
The automatic intermittent wiper

system senses rainfall and
automatically turns on the
windshield wipers. To enable sensing,
turn the rotary switch at the end of
the wiper lever to AUTO.

You can adjust the sensitivity of the

system by turning the AUTO SENS

Headlights
AUTO The Automatic Lighting
feature turns on the headlights, all
other exterior lights, and the
instrument panel lights when it
senses low ambient light.
Even with the automatic lighting

feature turned on, we recommend
that you turn on the lights manually
when driving at night or in a dense
fog, or when you enter dark areas
such as long tunnels or parking
structures.
Do not leave the light switch in
AUTO if you will not be driving the
vehicle for an extended period (a
week or more). You should also turn
off the lights if you plan to leave the
engine idling or the engine off for a
long time.
LIGHT SENSOR
The automatic lighting feature is

controlled by a sensor located on top
of the dashboard. Do not cover this
sensor or spill liquids on it.

To turn on automatic lighting, turn

the light switch to AUTO at any time.
The lights will come on automatically
when the outside light level becomes
low (at dusk, for example). The
lights on indicator comes on as a
reminder. The lights and indicator
will turn off automatically when the
system senses high ambient light.
The lights will remain on when you

turn off the ignition switch. They will
turn off automatically when you open
the drivers door. To turn them on
again, either turn the ignition switch
to the ON (II) position or turn the
