Rain sensor
The rain sensor automatically regulates wiper speed according to the amount of water on the windshield.
The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted by twisting ring (1) up (the wipers will sweep the windshield more frequently) or down (the wipers will sweep the windshield less frequently).
Activating the rain sensor:
1. Turn the ignition key to at least position I
and put the windshield wiper lever in position
0.
2. Press button (2).
> A light in the button will light up to indicate
that the rain sensor is active.
Deactivating the rain sensor:
• Press button (2).
or
• Move the windshield wiper lever down to
another position. Moving the lever up will
not deactivate the rain sensor. Doing so
will cause the wipers to sweep the windshield
until the lever is released, at which
time the wipers return to rain sensor mode.
The rain sensor is also deactivated when the key is removed from the ignition.
CAUTION
The rain sensor should be deactivated when
washing the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, etc. If the rain sensor function is left
on, the wipers will start inadvertently in the
car wash and could be damaged.
