Manual Description
The rain sensor operates only in the interval wiper position. When it starts to rain, the interval wiper mode is activated automatically. If the windshield wiper lever is in the interval wipe position with the ign it ion switched off, the rain sensor is not activated until vehicle speed is above 4 mph (6 km/h). To reduce the sensitivity of the rain sensor, the switch A must be moved down.
To increase the sensitivity of the rain sensor, the switch must be moved up. The higher the sensitivity setting, the sooner the windshield wipers react to moisture on the windshield. Increased sensitivity is signaled by the windshield wipers making a single pass over the windshield. The rain sensor wiper intervals depend on the sensitivity setting as well as vehicle speed.
During brief stops, wiper motion will adjust in relation to the amount of rain on the windshield. Always check that the wiper blades are not frozen to the glass before you turn the wipers on. Loosen a wiper blade which is frozen in place before operating the wipers to prevent damage to the wiper blade or the wiper motor. Do not use the wipers to clear a frosted window.
Using the wipers as a convenient ice scraper will destroy the wiper blades. Before you take your vehicle to an automatic car wash, make sure you have the windshield wiper system switched off (lever in position 0), otherwise the windshield wiper system could get damaged in the car wash if it should suddenly come on.
