3. EXTERIOR LAMP OPERATION
1) AIMING AND ADJUSTMENT OF FRONT LAMP 
(1) Headlamp Aiming
An approved beam setting device should be used  
for a correct headlamp aiming.
Make sure to follow the operating instructions 
provided by the manufacturer.
If not available to use the beam setting device, 
adjust the headlamp aiming with a screen.  Headlamp aiming requirements: 
- parking on a flat surface
- specified tire pressure
- one passenger (driver, 65 kg),
- spare tire and OVM tools loaded 
  (unlade all other loads)

Cautions During the Aiming 
Procedures 
▶ 
The headlamp angle should be within the  
adjustment range as shown in the figure. 
Adjust the headlamp aiming by rotating the  
direction control levers (Up, Down, Left, 
Right) in turn with a screwdriver. 
▶When using a beam setting device  Align the vehicle and beam setting device according to the operating instructions provided  
by the manufacturer.
Adjust the headlamp aiming by rotating the direction control levers (Up, Down, Left, Right) in 
turn with a screwdriver.

▶When Using a Screen Install a screen (2m X 1.5m) in front of the headlamps in vertical by 3m away and align the  
center lines of the vehicle and the screen. 
1.
Run the engine with approx. 2,000 rpm 
and turn on the headlamp. At this 
moment, the focus of the headlamp 
should aim the   “A” point. 
2. 
If the focus deviates the   “A” point,  
adjust the headlamp aiming by rotating 
control levers (Up, Down, Left, Right) in 
turn with a screwdriver.

RAIN SENSOR
RODIUS 2007.07
8610-11
The rain sensing wiper unit in this vehicle doesn’t control the  wiper directly. 
The rain sensing unit detects the amount of rain drops and sends the operating signal to 
STICS, and STICS drives the wiper directly.
1. COMPONENTS OF RAIN SENSOR
A sensor that emits infrared rays through LED
and then detects the amount of rain drops by
receiving reflected rays against sensing 
section(rain sensor mounting section on the 
windshield)with photodiode.  Rain sensing unit 
Multifunction wiper switch: 
AUTO and sensitivity control AUTO 
: Wiper operates automatically by rain sensor
  FAST <-------> SLOW
: Auto delay/Auto speed control. A position 
that   
  can control sensitivity against rains on the
  windshield and transmits wiping demand  
  signal accordingly.

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.

2. RAIN SENSOR OPERATION
The rain sensor is installed on the specific heat treated windshield that has minimum 13% of  
transmittance rate with specified intensity of radiation. It is installed on the glass with a 
adhesive of Sorepa. 
It communicates with STICS and makes the wipers to operate automatically under the rain 
sensing mode (multifunction switch wiper: AUTO mode). 
The emitting section of the rain sensor unit emits infrared rays against the windshield and then 
detects the amount of rain drops by receiving reflected rays with photodiode.
The sensing section on the windshield is located just above the center point between LED and 
photodiode.
