id091900810100

Caution

•  Rain sensor initialization is performed when it is newly replaced and when its previously programmed setting is modified due to the reflection rate change caused by the replacement of the windshield.

Note

•  The 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.

•  Reinitialize the rain sensor in the following cases.

―  When the front window glasses are replaced while the rain sensor is reused.

―  When the auto wiper system malfunction occurs.

1.  Remove water and dirt from the windshield surface.

2.  Turn the ignition switch off.

3.  Turn the windshield wiper switch to the AUTO position.

4.  Perform the windshield wiper switch operation (AUTO→OFF→AUTO) five times within 10 s after turning the ignition switch to the ON position.The windshield wiper will operate once at low speed when the reinitialization setting is performed correctly.

Caution

•  If the operation is too fast, the windshield wiper switch position cannot be detected and the reinitialization may not be performed. Operate the windshield wiper switch one cycle every 1 s.
