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. -

When cleaning the windshield over the sensor with damp clothes, the wiper may operate
suddenly. It could cause serious injury. Make sure to place the wiper switch to the OFF
position and ignition switch OFF when not in use.
Irregular operation (abrupt operation) ▶
Check if the sensor is off the position.
Check if the rain sensor cover is securely installed.
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. -
