Auto Light Control
The tail lamps and headlamps can be controlled by the communication with the rain sensor
only when the auto light switch is in "AUTO" position with the ignition switch "ON". 1.
Rain detected headlamp: If it rains heavy which requires the highest AUTO speed, the
headlamps are turned on automatically (while the light switch is in "AUTO" position and the
wiper switch is in "AUTO" position).
Night detected wiping: When the auto light control turns on the headlamps and the rain
sensor detects the rain, the wiper sensitivity is automatically increased by one level. (i.e. the
AUTO wiper switch is at the 3rd level, but the wiper operates at the 4th level.) 2.

Emitter lense
The emitter lens located at bottom of
rain sensing unit guides the infrared
rays from the LED to the target point.

Speed Sensitive AUTO Wiper
For RKSTICS without the rain sensor, perform the following operation:
1. Controls the wiper intermittent operation by the values from the vehicle speed
and the volume.
Calculates and converts the Intermittent interval automatically by using the
AUTO
VOLUME when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position and the AUTO switch is in the
"ON" position.
The wipers are operated in vehicle speed sensitive mode when turning the AUTO switch to
the "ON" position with the engine running or starting the engine with the AUTO switch
positioned to "ON".
Intermittent interval (at 0 km/h): 3
0.5 ~ 19 2 seconds -
-
-
2. Vehicle speed calculation
[Input the vehicle speed]
It is calculated by the numbers of input pulses for one second.
1 [PULSE/SEC] =
1.41 [km/h] 60 [km/h] x 60 [sec]
637 x 4 PULSE
3. VOLUME calculation
The pause time of the vehicle speed sensitive AUTO wiper is calculated by the
AUTO
volume (input voltage). Each level has the hysteresis. -
4. Pause time calculation
- Pause time: the duration that wipers are stopped at parking position
- Elapsed time: the duration after the wiper motor started to operate from parking position
- The pause time is calculated by the vehicle speed and the VOLUME.

Ignition Key Reminder Warning
(The ignition key reminder warning has priority over the "TAILLAMP ON WARNING".)
The chime bell sounds continuously with the interval of 0.3 seconds when opening the
driver's door while the ignition key is in ignition switch.
When removing the ignition key or closing the driver's door during chime buzzer operation,
the buzzer stops.
This function is not available when the ignition switch is in "ON" position. 1.
