Fig. 90 Sensitive surface of the rain sensor
Changes to the functioning of the rain
sensor
Possible causes for faults and misinterpretations
concerning the sensitive surface~ Fig. 90 of the
rain sensor include:
• Damaged wiper blades: a film of water or
smears caused by damaged wiper blades
can in­
crease the length of time for which the wipers are
switched on, shorten the length of the intervals be­
tween wipes, or cause the wipers to run continu­
ously.
• Insects: insects hitting the surface can cause
the wipers to be activated.
• Salt deposits : in winter, salt deposits can cause
the wiper to continue to wipe the windscreen when
it is almost dry.
• Soiling : dry dust, wax, windscreen coatings (lo·
tus effect) or detergent deposits (automatic car
wash) can cause the rain sensor to become less
sensitive and react too slowly or even not at all.
• Crack
in the windscreen : when the windscree~
is impacted by a stone, a wash cycle is triggered If ....
