2. CAUTIONS ON RAIN SENSOR

When the wiper switch is in the AUTO position, the wiper will operate for 1 cycle if the initial engine

start is made. This may cause the wiper blades to wear prematurely. Therefore, other than rainy

days, set the switch to the OFF position. Especially during the winter time, check if the wiper blades

are not frozen to the windshield.

Operating the wiper with the blades frozen can damage the wiper motor.

If you operate the wipers when the windshield is dry without spraying washer fluid, the windshield can

be scratched and the wiper blades can wear prematurely. Use the wiper with the washer fluid when

the windshield is dry.

When it does not rain, turn the wiper switch to the OFF position.

Turn the wiper switch to the OFF position before any car wash to avoid unwanted operation of the

wipers.

When cleaning the windshield over the sensor with damp clothes, the wiper may operate suddenly.

It could cause serious injury. Make sure to place the wiper switch to the OFF position and ignition

switch OFF when not in use.

Irregular operation (abrupt operation)

▶

Check if the sensor is off the position.

Check if the rain sensor cover is securely installed.

Check if the customer is familiar to how to control the wiper sensitivity.

Check if the wiper sensitivity control is set to the FAST side (step 5).

Check the wiper blade for wear.

If the wiper blade cannot wipe the glass uniformly and clearly, it may cause the rain sensor to work

irregularly. Therefore, in this case, replace the wiper blade with a new one.
