CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM

Aerodynamic performance has been improved by the
optimised shape of the following parts.

• Front side air dam: Refer to .

• Overfender shape: Overfender shape from the

front bumper to the fender and from the quarter
panel to the rear bumper keeps the off-road vehi-
cle image as an SUV, at the same time the opti-
mised shape of the related parts improves
aerodynamic performance.

• Roof drip moulding: Groove in the roof moulding

is eliminated in order to reduce wind noise and
aerodynamic drag.

• Door mirror

CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM

• 2-speed (low/high speed) windshield wiper has

been adopted.

• The intermittent wiper features a vehicle

speed-dependent variable intermittent time func-
tion*.

• For the windshield auto wiper, the rain sensitive

AUTO wiper function* has been
adopted.<Optional>

• Wiper motor torque has been increased to

improve kinetic performance of the wiper in the
snowfall. Wiper blade pressure has been
increased to improve the wiping performance
while driving at high speed.

• The mist wiper is turned ON by operating the mist

switch in the opposite direction of the wiper
switch for easy operation. The mist wiper is
equipped with the function that quickly wipes
raindrops away at high speed when the mist
switch is ON, and when the mist switch is OFF, at
low speed until the stop position is reached.
When the mist switch is briefly turned ON, the
wiper operates once at low speed.

• The windshield washer nozzles are located at the

rear end under the hood in order to improve
appearance.

• The windshield washer is a 2-nozzle and 6-jet

type.

• The windshield washer nozzle with the integral

check valve has been adopted to prevent the
washer fluid from running down, and to improve
the response to switch operation.

WIPER AND WASHER

• The washer motor for both of a windshield

washer motor and a rear washer motor has been
installed to reduce the weight.

• Washer-linked wiper function* has been adopted.

The washer fluid can be injected without operat-
ing the wiper. When the ignition switch is turned
ON while the washer switch is ON, the washer
motor operates but the wiper does not.

• The delayed finishing wipe function* has been

adopted to the windshield wiper. When the wiper
operation is stopped after spraying the washer
fluid, the wiper operates once to wipe out the
washer fluid ran down.

NOTE: *: Using the customise function, the vehicle
speed-dependent variable intermittent time function,
rain sensitive AUTO wiper function, washer-linked
wiper function and the delayed finishing wipe func-
tion can be selected (Refer to ).

DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION

Intermittent control (Vehicle
speed-dependent variable type) <Initial
condition: with function>

1. ETACS calculates the windshield intermittent

wiper interval T1 from the position of the wind-
shield intermittent wiper switch on the column
switch and the vehicle speed signal (sent from
the combination meter to ETACS via CAN com-
munication).

NOTE: Using the customise function, the vehicle

speed-dependent variable intermittent time func-
tion can be invalidated (Refer to ).

2. When ETACS receives the ON signal of the wind-

shield intermittent wiper switch, it turns the wind-
shield wiper relay ON. When the wiper reaches
the stop position, the windshield wiper auto-stop
signal turns OFF, and the windshield wiper relay

turns OFF. When the intermittent time T1 calcu-
lated by step 1 has elapsed after the windshield
wiper relay ON, the windshield wiper relay turns
ON again, and the above-mentioned operation is
repeated.

Mist wiper control

When the windshield wiper mist switch on the col-
umn switch is turned ON while the ignition switch is
in ACC or ON position, the column switch turns the
windshield wiper relay ON. At the same time, the
wiper speed switching relay turns ON (HI). When the
windshield mist wiper switch is ON, the windshield
wiper operates at high speed.
