Adjusting the duration of the pause in intermittent wiper operation
Set the control lever to position «INT» («intermittent mode») and adjust the duration of the pause between strokes of the brushes by turning the ring knob of the regulator in the appropriate direction.
Automatic wiper control
If the lever is in position «AUTO» («Automatic wiper control»), the wiper will automatically turn on and off based on the rain sensor. Depending on the amount of precipitation, the wiper may not operate or may operate intermittently or continuously with a slow or high frequency of wipes.
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be changed by turning the ring on the wiper control lever. From the middle position (normal sensor sensitivity) turn the knob down to increase sensitivity, or up to decrease sensor sensitivity.
Attention. Do not cover the rain sensor with anything (do not stick a film or labels on the windshield in the area of the sensor). Otherwise, the sensor will not be able to work correctly.
Attention.
If the wiper control lever is set to «AUTO» («Auto mode») and the ignition is on, the wiper may automatically turn on in the following cases:
- if you wipe the windshield over the rain sensor with a rag;
- if you strike the rain sensor with your hand or other object outside or inside the vehicle.
Be careful not to put your hands, brush or squeegee near the windshield when the wiper is set to automatic and the ignition is on. When the wiper is automatically turned on, you can get injured fingers, and the brushes and levers of the wiper can get mechanical damage. If you are going to clean the windshield, make sure the wiper is off completely. This is especially important in winter when. it is necessary to clear the windshield of snow or ice - in these cases, as a rule, the engine is started and continues to work.
Note:
- If, while moving, move the lever from the position «OFF» into position «AUTO», the purifier will turn on for one cycle, and then it will work according to the intensity of precipitation.
- The automatic wiper control may not operate if the temperature of the rain sensor is around -10°C or lower or around +85°C or higher.
- If the windshield is coated with a water repellent, the rain sensor may not correctly judge the amount of precipitation on the glass. This can lead to disruption of the normal operation of the wiper in automatic mode.
- If dirt or other foreign matter (e.g. ice or road salt particles) stuck to the windshield above the rain sensor or the windshield is covered with frost, this can cause the wiper to automatically turn on. However, if the wiper blades fail to remove ice, dirt or other foreign matter from the glass, the automatic wiper control will turn off. In such cases, it is necessary to operate the wiper continuously at low or high speed by moving the control lever to the appropriate position, or remove ice, dirt and other foreign matter manually before returning the wiper to automatic mode.
- If the automatic wiper switch is left in the «AUTO», the wipers may automatically operate when exposed to strong light sources, electromagnetic waves, or infrared radiation, since the rain sensor uses light sensor signals. It is recommended to switch the automatic windshield wiper to the position «OFF», except when driving in the rain.
- Automatic wiper control can be disabled.
