Rain sensitive AUTO wiper function <Optional: Vehicles for USA with lighting control
sensor (rain sensor)>

Lighting control sensor (rain sensor) has been
installed on the upper part of the windshield to sense
the raindrops and windshield wiper can be operated
automatically when the ignition switch is at ON and
wiper switch at AUTO position.

• The amount of rainfall on the windshield surface

are detected by using the infrared reflection, and
the windshield wiper is controlled by intermittent
operation or LO and HI operation automatically
depending on the amount of rainfall.

• 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 configuration function, the rain sen-
sitive AUTO wiper function can be invalidated (Refer
to

P.51-12

).

CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM

The outside mirror (door mirror) is a folded type and
has the following characteristics.

• Aerodynamic door mirror shape reduces wind

noises, and the door glasses and mirrors do not
easily get wet while driving in a rainy day.

• Electric remote-controlled door mirrors
