► When the windshield glass is coated with water repellent, the speed of the rain-sensing auto wipers may be higher even though the amount of the rainfall is small.
► Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing auto wiper system when you use a car wash.
► Using genuine wiper blades is recommended for proper operation of the rain-sensing auto wiper system. (See “Windshield wiper blades” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section for wiper blade replacement.)
