System Description: Notes
- When front wiper switch is turned to INT position, wiper performs intermittent operation, low-speed operation, and high-speed operation from stop according to water drop increase rate on windshield detected by rain sensor.
- If front wiper switch is turned to INT position when ignition switch is ON, wiper operates once without any relation to the water drop detection. After that, wiper operates according to the amount of rainfall.
- When ignition switch is turned ON with front wiper switch turned to INT position, wiper operates only when rain sensor detects water drops.
- Rain sensitivity can be changed by sensitivity adjustment volume. Change from LO continuous operation to HI continuous operation is decided without any relation to sensitivity adjustment volume.
- If rain sensor malfunctions, rain sensor function will stop. But, the function operates as vehicle speed sensing wiper during driving and operates intermittent operation according to INT-volume switch with vehicle stopped.
- Stop wiper operation when windshield temperature exceeds 70°C (158°F).
- It is possible to change from rain sensing wiper to vehicle speed sensing wiper on vehicle information display.
- Through the adoption of vehicle speed detect-type intermittent wiper, Front Wiper System changes wiper's intermittent time when the engine is stopped and while driving.
- Vehicle speed signal is send from the combination meter to BCM (body control module). BCM (body control module) controls intermittent activation time and coupled activation of washer and wiper.
