. When the wiper switch is in the “ AUTO ” position , the following situations may occur . – The wipers may operate if the rain sensor or the windshield is vibrated or objects such as insects , dirt , mud , etc . are covering them . Turn off the wiper unless it is raining or snowing .
– The wipers do not operate if the rain sensor does not detect rain or snow . If necessary , push the wiper control lever down to the low speed position or high speed position .
– The wipers may not operate properly if the rain sensor does not detect the amount of raindrops because a water-repellent coating , dirt , or ice is on the upper half of the windshield .
– The rain sensor may be malfunctioning if the wiper intermittent operation does not vary depending on the amount of rainfall . If necessary , turn the wiper switch to any position except the “ AUTO ” position . We recommend that you contact your SUBARU dealer and have the system inspected as soon as possible .
– The wipers stop operation if the ambient temperature decreases to 58F ( −158C ) or lower . The wipers resume operation when the ambient temperature increases to 148F ( −108C ) or higher .

– The wipers may not operate if the temperature around the rain sensor is more than 1768F ( 808C ) because the system cannot detect the amount of raindrops under these temperatures .
