Activate the rain sensor by lifting the stalk
switch to the AUTO position. The wipers
make one sweep for reference to see how
much water is on the windshield. In the
future, the sensor compares the amount of
water on the windshield with this reference
value.
If the system malfunctions, the wipers will
operate at low speed when the stalk switch
is set to the AUTO position.
Adjusting sensitivity
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be
adjusted under Profiler. If you increase the
sensitivity, the wipers will make one sweep
for reference.
