Integrated Rain Sensor
Integrated rain sensor (A) controls three systems: front wiper, auto-light, and central air conditioner.
- Wiper Control System
When the multifunction switch on the right receives "AUTO" switch signal, 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 operating duration and speed of the wipers depending on the measured amount of rainfall even if the driver does not operate the wiper switch.
