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)

1) Power-up Reminder Wiper Function
When turning off and on the auto INT switch, the system drives the wiper motor through
LOW relay regardless of communication with rain sensor. 1.
When turning the INT-AUTO switch from the "OFF" to "ON" position with the ignition
switch in the "ON" mode, the LOW relay operates to drive the wiper motor for 1 cycle,
regardless of the rain sensor communication.
After that, when turning the INT-AUTO switch from the "OFF" to "ON" position, the LO
W
relay operates to drive the wiper motor for 1 cycle only if data from the rain sensor
indicates rain drops. 2.
2. FUNCTIONS OF RAIN SENSING WIPER

08-6
2) Washer Coupled Wiper in Rain Sensing Mode
The washer coupled wiper is operated when receiving the washer switch input with the
ignition switch "ON" and the auto INT switch "ON" in rain sensing mode. At this moment,
the communication with the rain sensor is overridden. However, a washer input is
overridden if there is an output for continuous operation.
The operation data is sent to the rain sensor even during the washer coupled wiper's
operation. 1.

3) Sensitivity Control
The wiper LOW relay is turned on and the wiper motor runs one cycle when the volume
<009a008c0095009a0090009b0090009d0090009b00a000470090009a004700900095008a0099008c0088009a008c008b0047004f008c009f00610047009a008c0095009a0090009b0090009d0090009b00a00047005700470d7d0047005800500047009e00

in the "ON" position, and the wiper motor is in "Parked" position). However, the wiper
motor can be operated only when the rain sensor detects the "Rain Detected" signal. 1.
If the volume sensitivity is changed more than 1 stage within 2 seconds, the wiper motor runs
only one cycle.
4) Auto Light Control
Only when the auto light switch is in "AUTO" position, it controls the tail lamp and
headlamp by communicating with the rain sensor (while the ignition key is in "ON"
position). 1.

08-8
5) When Wiper Parking Signal is Abnormal
The wiper system continuously outputs the parking signal of current sensitivity when the
parking terminal is grounded (while the ignition key is in "ON" position and the INT switch is
in "ON" position). 1.
When the parking terminal is fixed to IGN, the wiper system outputs the wiper operating
signal for 2 seconds, then continuously outputs the wiper parking signal.
※ The wiper motor runs only when the rain sensor requires the wiper operation. 2.

08-98610-09
6) Defective Rain Sensor
The wiper relay (LOW) is turned on and the wiper motor runs one cycle when the volume
sensitivity is changed to 3 from 4 during receiving the malfunction signal from the rain
sensor, while the ignition key is in "ON" position and the wiper switch is in "ON" position. 2.The wiper relay (LOW) is turned on and the wiper motor runs one cycle when the volume
sensitivity is changed to 2 from 3 during receiving the malfunction signal from the rain
sensor, while the ignition key is in "ON" position and the wiper switch is in "ON" position. 1.

08-10
7) Speed Sensitive INT Wiper
Calculates and converts the Intermittent interval automatically by obtaining the INT VOLUME
when the ignition switch and the INT switch is in the "ON" position.
The wipers are operated in vehicle speed sensitive mode as soon as turning the INT auto
switch to the "ON" position with the ignition key ON or turning the ignition key to the "ON"
position with the INT auto switch ON.
This applies to the vehicle without the rain sensor. -

Controls the wiper intermittent operation by the values from the vehicle speed and the setting
value.

3. OPERATION MODE OF RAIN SENSING WIPER SYSTEM

1. COMPONENT SPECIFICATIONS
The PAS (parking aid system) emits the ultrasonic wave signals from the sensors on the rear
bumper at a specific interval
and detects the reflected signals from obstacles when reversing. The alarm interval increases as
the obstacle approaches.
This supplementary system is useful to measure the distance when parking.
Parking Aid Unit ▶
Parking Aid Sensor ▶
Detecting type: Ultrasonic wave (Piezo
ceramic element)
Calculates the distance between the
sensor and the object by calculating the
return time of the emitted the ultrasonic

Frequency used: 50 KHz ± 1 KHz
Detection distance: 30 cm ~ 120 cm

2. CAUTIONS
Note that the display does not show everything in the rear area. Always check nobody,
especially animals and children, is behind the vehicle when parking or reversing.
If you can not properly check the vehicle behind, get out of the vehicle and then visually
check it.
The parking aid system is just a supplemental device to help your parking.
Always keep the safety precautions.
Do not press or shock the sensors by hitting or using a high-pressure water gun while
washing, since it may damage the sensors.
If the system is in normal operating condition, a short beep sounds when the shift lever is
moved into "R" position with the ignition key "ON". -
