STICS Engine Compartment Fuse Box
STICS ▶
The rain sensing unit detects the amount of rain drops and sends the operating signal to STICS, and
STICS drives the wiper directly. At this moment, STICS determines the wiper operation mode (washer,
MIST, AUTO), then sends the information to the rain sensor.
Auto Light Sensor and Rain Sensor Coupled Control ▶
Rain detected headlamp: If it rains heavy which requires the highest INT speed (almost LOW),
the headlamps are turned on automatically. -
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 in comparison with
daytime.
(i.e. the AUTO wiper switch is at the 3rd level, but the wiper operates at the 4th level.) -Wiper relay (HI)
