mirror and is mounted on the
windshield. When active, these
sensors are able to detect moisture
on the windshield and automatically
turn on the wipers.
To turn on the Rainsense feature,
the wipers must be set to one of the
five delay settings on the lever.
Each of the five settings adjusts the
sensitivity of the sensor.
Since different drivers have different
setting preferences, it is
recommended that the mid-range
setting (position 3) be used initially.
For more wipes, select the higher
settings; for fewer wipes, select the
lower settings located closer to the
off position on the lever.
The sensor automatically controls
the frequency of the wipes from the
off setting to the high speed setting
according to the weather conditions.
The wipers can be left in a
Rainsense mode even when it is not
raining.
When Rainsense is active, the
headlamps turn on automatically if
the exterior lamp control is in the
AUTO position and the wipers are
active.
