Front door opening linked windshield wiper stop function: When “AUTO” is selected and the windshield wipers are operating, if a front door is opened, the operation of the windshield wipers will be stopped to prevent anyone near the vehicle from being sprayed by water from the wipers, provided the vehicle is stopped. When the front door is closed, wiper operation will resume. To protect the windshield wipers: If movement of the windshield wipers is largely restricted by a foreign object such as snow, the operation of the windshield wipers may be stopped automatically to protect the windshield wipers.
In this case, turn the windshield wiper switch off and remove the foreign object, and then use the windshield wipers.
