The rain/driving light sensor is located on the windscreen in the mirror base. The rain/driving light sensor consists of a driving light sensor and a rain sensor. It picks up the rain intensity for wiper control and surrounding brightness for control of the low-beam headlights.
The rain/driving light sensor is connected to the junction box electronics (JBE) via a local interconnect network bus.
