NOTE
●
Do not cover the sensor by affixing a sticker or label to the
windscreen. Also, do not put any water-repellent coating
on the windscreen. The rain sensor would not be able to
detect the extent of rain, and the wipers might stop work-
ing normally.
●
If the rainfall varies but the wipers keep working at a con-
stant interval, the rain sensor may be faulty. In such a situ-
ation, set the wiper switch manually. We recommend you
to have your vehicle checked.
If the rain sensor malfunctions, automatic wiper operation
will stop and the wipers will switch to intermittent opera-
tion even if the lever is in the “ ” position.
●
The wipers may automatically operate when mud or other
foreign matter gets stuck to the windscreen on top of the
rain sensor or when the windscreen is iced up. If the wiper
operation does not remove the stuck-on material from the
windscreen, the wipers will stop. Remove the stuck-on
material from the windscreen by some other means before
using the rain sensor wipers again.
