Rain sensor*
The rain sensor automatically regulates wiper

up (the wipers will sweep the windshield more
frequently) or down (the wipers will sweep the
windshield less frequently).

The wipers will make an extra sweep each
time the thumb wheel is adjusted upward.
When the rain sensor is activated, the symbol
will illuminate in the instrument panel.
Activating and setting the sensitivity
When activating the rain sensor, the vehicle
must be running or in ignition mode II and the
windshield wiper lever must be in position 0
or in the single sweep position.
Activate the rain sensor by pressing the but-
ton
. The windshield wipers will make
one sweep.
Press the lever up for the wipers to make an
extra sweep. The rain sensor returns to active
mode when the stalk is released back to
position 0.
