CAUTION:
- 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.
- 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.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Remove the rearview mirror cover.(See REARVIEW MIRROR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION VEHICLES WITH THE AUTO WIPER SYSTEM .)
- Disconnect the rain sensor connector.
