1. WIPER CONTROL
2. CAUTIONS ON RAIN SENSOR
When the wiper switch is in the AUTO position, the wiper will operate for 1 cycle if the initial engine
start is made. This may cause the wiper blades to wear prematurely. Therefore, other than rainy
days, set the switch to the OFF position. Especially during the winter time, check if the wiper blades
are not frozen to the windshield.
Operating the wiper with the blades frozen can damage the wiper motor.
If you operate the wipers when the windshield is dry without spraying washer fluid, the windshield
can be scratched and the wiper blades can wear prematurely. Use the wiper with the washer fluid
when the windshield is dry.
When it does not rain, turn the wiper switch to the OFF position.
Turn the wiper switch to the OFF position before any car wash to avoid unwanted operation of the
wipers. -

Check if the customer is familiar to how to control the wiper sensitivity.
Check if the wiper sensitivity control is set to the FAST side (step 5).
Check the wiper blade for wear.
If the wiper blade cannot wipe the glass uniformly and clearly, it may cause the rain sensor to
work irregularly. Therefore, in this case, replace the wiper blade with a new one. -

2. RAIN SENSING SYSTEM
In the rain sensing wiper operation system, the rain sensing unit only sends the information about the
amount of rain drops to the BCM, and it does not operate the wiper directly. The wiper and washer are
controlled by the BCM according to the driver's choice.

This sensor emits infrared rays through LED
and then detects the amount of rain drops
by receiving the rays reflected off the
