RAIN SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

CAUTIONThe reflection rate at the moment the ignition switch is first turned on after replacing the rain sensor with a new one is stored as the condition indicating zero precipitation on the windshield. Therefore, before turning on the ignition switch, remove water and dirt from the windshield. In addition, rain sensor initialization is performed for the following cases: (See RAIN SENSOR INITIALIZATION SETTING .) The windshield is replaced and the rain sensor is reused. The auto wiper system operates incorrectly. The rain sensor is integrated with the auto light sensor as a single unit.
