Rain sensor*
The rain sensor automatically regulates wiper
speed according to the amount of water on the
windshield.
The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted
by twisting ring (1) up (the wipers will sweep the
windshield more frequently) or down (the wip-
ers will sweep the windshield less frequently).
Activating the rain sensor:
1.
Turn the ignition key to at least position I
and put the windshield wiper lever in posi-
tion 0.
2. Press button (2), see page 71.
> A light in the button will light up to indi-
cate that the rain sensor is active.
Deactivating the rain sensor:
•
Press button (2), see page 71.
or
•
Move the windshield wiper lever down to
another position. Moving the lever up will
not deactivate the rain sensor. Doing so
will cause the wipers to sweep the wind-
shield until the lever is released, at which
time the wipers return to rain sensor mode.
The rain sensor is also deactivated when the
key is removed from the ignition.
CAUTION
The rain sensor should be deactivated when
washing the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, etc. If the rain sensor function is left
on, the wipers will start inadvertently in the
car wash and could be damaged.
