Rain sensor

The concept

The rain sensor automatically controls the time
between wipes depending on the intensity of
the rainfall. The sensor is located on the wind‐
shield, directly behind the interior rearview mir‐
ror.


Activating/deactivating

Press the button on the wiper lever.


The LED in the wiper lever lights up and a wiping
operation is started. At temperatures below
32 °F/0 °C, a wiping operation is not started.


Deactivate the rain sensor in car washes
Deactivate the rain sensor when passing
through an automatic car wash; otherwise, dam‐
age could be caused by undesired wiper activa‐
tion.◀

Rain sensor, sensitivity

Turn the thumbwheel.

Clean the windshield, headlamps

Pull the wiper lever.
The system sprays washer fluid on the wind‐
shield and activates the wipers briefly.

In addition, the headlamps are cleaned at regular
intervals when the vehicle lights are switched
on.
Do not use the washer system at freezing
temperatures
Do not use the washers if there is any danger
that the fluid will freeze on the windshield; oth‐
erwise, your vision could be obscured. For this
reason, use antifreeze.
