¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
When switched on, the rain sensor automatically shortens or lengthens the delay between wiping
intervals depending on how hard it is raining ⇒ . The rain sensor's sensitivity can be adjusted
manually. Manual wiping (vehicles without rain sensors)
Push the lever into the desired position ⇒ fig. 91:
(A) Rain sensor off windshield wiper lever home position).
(B) Rain sensor active – automatic wiping as needed.
(1) Adjusting the sensitivity of the rain sensor:
– Move switch to the right – high sensitivity.
– Move switch to the left – low sensitivity.
After switching the ignition off and back on again, the rain sensor stays on and works again with the
wiper lever in position (A) when the vehicle speed is over 10 mph (16 km/h).
Even if the rain sensor is disabled, it is still necessary to reach this speed to reactivate the wipers
when the windshield wiper lever is in the intermittent wiping position. The wipers then wipe at fixed
intervals instead of wiping as needed, as they do in rain sensor mode.
Possible reasons for changes in the way the rain sensor works
The rain sensor may misread what is happening in the detection zone of its sensitive rain-sensor
surface ⇒
fig. 92 (arrow) and not work for a number of reasons, which include:
x Worn out wiper blades: Worn out wiper blades may leave a film of water or wiping streaks; this can
cause the wipers to run longer, to wipe more often, or to wipe continuously at high speed.
x Insects: Insects hitting the sensor may trigger the wipers.
