Rain Sensing Wiper
This sensor detects the amount of rain while
the wiper switch is in “AUTO” position. If the
rains become heavier, the speed of the wip-
ers gets faster and smaller, the speed reduces.
• Auto position recognition, especially in winter, may reduce the life span
of the wiper blade. Make sure the wiper switch is at “OFF” position
unless it rains.
• During winter time, the wiper blade can be frozen to windshield. Wiper
operation while blade is frozen can damage wiper motor. Be sure to
check the blade before operation.
CAUTION
• The wiper operation on dry wind- shield can scratch glass and wear
the blade prematurely. Do not operate wiper when the windshield is
dry.
• When you clean the windshield over the sensor with damp cloth, the
wiper may operate suddenly. It could cause serious injury. Make sure
to place the wiper switch and ignition switch to “OFF” position when
not in use.
• Make sure to place the wiper switch to “OFF” position before wash-
ing the vehicle.
