> A rain sensor is located on the windshield, if equipped.

> When the wiper lever is pushed down to the intermittent (INT) position, the wipers will operate when the rain sensor detects rain.

> May only make a single stroke unless rain is detected directly above the sensor.

> May also be identified by the word "AUTO ADJ" on the wiper switch (some models).

NOTE:

The wipers may operate unexpectedly when dirt, fingerprints, oil film, or insects are located on or around the sensor, or when exhaust gas or

moisture affect the rain sensor.

If a customer states the wipers do not work when the wiper lever is pushed down to the intermittent (INT) position, make sure the customer is

familiar with the above information.

^ You can demonstrate the operation of the system by pushing the wiper lever down to the intermittent (INT) position and spraying/sprinkling water

over the rain sensor.

NOTE:

If a wiper-operation incident does occur, refer to the applicable Electronic Service Manual (ESM) for further diagnostic assistance.
