Rain sensitive AUTO wiper function <Optional: Vehicles for USA with lighting control 
sensor (rain sensor)>

Lighting control sensor (rain sensor) has been 
installed on the upper part of the windshield to sense 
the raindrops and windshield wiper can be operated 
automatically when the ignition switch is at ON and 
wiper switch at AUTO position.

• The amount of rainfall on the windshield surface 

are detected by using the infrared reflection, and 
the windshield wiper is controlled by intermittent 
operation or LO and HI operation automatically 
depending on the amount of rainfall.

• Dry windshield: All infrared rays emitted from the 

emitter diode are reflected by the windshield and 
directed to the receiver diode as they are.

• Wet windshield: Part of the infrared rays emitted 

from the emitter diode are transmitted to outside 
of the windshield through the raindrops, and the 
infrared rays with reduced intensity are directed 
to the receiver diode.

NOTE: Using the configuration function, the rain sen-
sitive AUTO wiper function can be invalidated (Refer 
to 

P.51-12

).

CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM

The outside mirror (door mirror) is a folded type and 
has the following characteristics.

• Aerodynamic door mirror shape reduces wind 

noises, and the door glasses and mirrors do not 
easily get wet while driving in a rainy day.

• Electric remote-controlled door mirrors
