Rain sensitive AUTO wiper function <Optional>

• Lighting control sensor (rain sensor) has been 

installed in the upper part of the windshield to 
sense the raindrops and windshield wiper can be 
operated when the ignition switch is at ON and 
wiper switch is at AUTO position.

• The lighting control sensor detects the raindrops 

on the windshield surface using the optical ele-
ment, and it automatically switches the wind-
shield wiper operation, depending on the amount 
of rainfall, to the intermittent or LO/HI operation.

• The lighting control sensor detects the raindrops 

using the reflections of infrared rays, and 
depending on the amount of rainfall, it automati-
cally adjusts the wiping speed.

• Dry windshield: All infrared rays emitted from the 

emitter diode are reflected by the windshield and 
directed to the receiver diode as they are.

• Wet windshield: Part of the infrared rays emitted 

from the emitter diode are transmitted to outside 
of the windshield through the raindrops, and the 
infrared rays with reduced intensity are directed 
to the receiver diode.

NOTE: Using the customise function, the rain sensi-
tive AUTO wiper function can be invalidated (Refer to 

P.51-20

).

Delayed finishing wipe function <Initial condition: with function>

1. When the washer lever of the column switch is 

operated for 0.5 seconds or longer with the igni-
tion switch in the ACC or ON position, or when 
the comfort washer function is enable, the 
washer fluid is sprayed and the wiper is operated. 
6 seconds after stopping the wiper operation, the 
wiper operates once to wipe out the washer fluid 
ran down.

NOTE: Using the customise function, the delayed fin-
ishing wipe function can be invalidated (Refer to 

P.51-20

).

REAR WIPER AND WASHER

CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM

• Resin wiper arm has been adopted to achieve 

weight reduction and integration of the arm and 
blade.

• Fixed interval type intermittent wiper* has been 

adopted to provide a clear rear view in rainy 
weather.

• The washer tank is shared with the windshield 

washer.

• Washer-linked wiper function* has been adopted. 

Washer fluid can be optionally injected without 
operating the wiper optionally. When the ignition 
switch is turned ON while the washer switch is 
ON, the washer motor operates but the wiper 
does not.

• Reverse gear-linked rear wiper function (auto-

matic rear window wiper operation with reverse 
gear engaged)* has been adopted. In this func-
tion, the rear wiper performs continuous 
low-speed operation for 3 cycles approximately 1 
second after the selector lever is shifted to "R" 
position while the front or rear wiper switch is in 
the intermittent position, and then proceed with 
the intermittent operation.

NOTE: *: Using the customise function, the fixed 
interval type intermittent wiper, reverse gear-linked 
rear wiper function and the washer-linked wiper func-
tion can be adjusted (Refer to 

P.51-20

).

DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION

Rear wiper control <Initial condition: Front or rear wiper switch ON>

When the rear wiper switch on the column switch is 
turned ON while the ignition switch is in ACC or ON 
position, ETACS turns the rear wiper relay ON for 3 
seconds (for approximately 2 cycles) and operates 
the intermittent action in 8 seconds interval.

When the selector lever is moved to R (reverse) 
position during the front or rear wiper operation, the 
inhibitor switch R (reverse) turns ON, and 1 second 
after that, ETACS turns the rear wiper relay ON for 3 
seconds (for approximately 3 cycles), and operates 
the intermittent action in 8 seconds interval again.

NOTE: Using the customise function, the operation 
with front/rear wiper ON can be switched to the oper-
ation with the rear wiper only ON. (Refer to 

P.51-20

.)

Washer-linked rear wiper function <Initial condition: with function>

When the rear washer switch on the column switch is 
turned ON while the ignition switch is in ACC or ON 
position, ETACS turns the rear washer relay ON.
The rear washer relay turns ON after the rear washer 
switch has been ON for 0.3 seconds, then turns the 
rear wiper relay ON to operate the rear wiper simul-
taneously. When the rear washer switch is turned 
OFF, after 3 seconds the rear wiper is turned OFF.

If the rear washer switch is turned ON during the rear 
wiper operation, 7.4 seconds after turning OFF the 
rear wiper relay turns OFF, the intermittent action is 
resumed in 8 seconds interval.

NOTE: Using the customise function, the washer 
linked rear wiper function can be invalidated (Refer 
to 

P.51-20

).
