Integrated Rain Sensor 

Integrated rain sensor (A) controls three systems: front wiper, auto-light, and central air conditioner.

  1. Wiper Control System

    When "AUTO" switch signal is received from the multi-function switch on the right, the integrated rain sensor detects the amount of rainfall. The sensor is installed inside the upper part of the front window for wiper motor control.

    This system automatically controls the operation duration and speed of the wiper depending on the measured amount of rainfall even if the driver does not operate the wiper switch.

  2. Auto Light Control System

    When "AUTO" signal is received from the multi-function switch on the left, the integrated rain sensor installed on the front window detects the brightness of the light and controls the operation of the head lamp and screen brightness of the internal multimedia.

    This system automatically controls the brightness of the head lamp and the internal multimedia screen depending on the measured brightness even if the driver does not operate the lamp switch.

  3. Central Air Conditioning System

    When "AUTO" signal is received from the central air conditioner switch, the integrated rain sensor detects the amount of sunshine depending on the direction of the sunlight.

    This system automatically controls the cooling system depending on the measured amount of sunshine even if the driver does not operate the air conditioner switch.
