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.)
