– Lever the sensor -1- carefully and slowly from the retaining
plate -2- at the recess -3- using a suitable cross-head screw‐
driver.
Note
When removing, make sure to lever off the complete sensor and
not only the upper shell of the sensor.
Installing
Installation is carried out in the reverse order. When installing,
observe the following:
Caution
♦ Thoroughly clean the windscreen inside the retaining plate
with e.g. isopropyl (technical alcohol).
♦ The surface (coupling cushion) of the sensor must not get
dirty or damaged when installing. A sensor with a dam‐
aged coupling cushion must be replaced.
Note
If the surface (coupling cushion) of the sensor is dirty, it can be
cleaned, if necessary, by sticking on one or several adhesive
tapes and then pulling them off again.
– If necessary, remove the protective cap of the new sensor.
– Insert the sensor -1- into the retaining plate on the windscreen
-2- and press firmly.
Note
♦
Even after correct installation of the sensor, smaller air bub‐
bles can be present initially between the windscreen and the
coupling cushion. The contact surface must be free of bubbles
after approx. 10 minutes.
♦
When replacing, the new sensor must be coded with the ⇒ Ve‐
hicle diagnostic tester.
