Without Forward Sensing Camera (FSC)

CAUTION:

If the rate at which the rain sensor reflects or transmits infrared light between the rain sensor and the windshield, or through the protective sheet, is changed, the rain sensor will determine that there is a problem in the rain detection function and stop the auto wiper system control. Be careful of the following when installing the rain sensor:
- Do not reuse the rain sensor protective sheet.
- Do not touch the rain sensor lens, rain sensor protective sheet, and sensor installation area on the windshield with your fingers.
- Verify that there are no air bubbles after installing the rain sensor.

Wipe off any oil or dirt from the rain sensor lens and the windshield using a clean rag.

If the rain sensor is replaced, perform the following sensitivity setting procedure for the auto lights.
CAUTION:
- If the auto light sensitivity setting is not performed after replacing the rain sensor (auto light sensor), the rain sensor will be unable to detect the correct illumination level and the auto light/wiper system will not operate normally. If the rain sensor is replaced, perform the auto light sensitivity setting.
1. Using the M-MDS or center display, verify the current auto light sensitivity setting. (See CONTROL SYSTEM PERSONALIZATION FEATURES SETTING PROCEDURE .) (See CENTER DISPLAY PERSONALIZATION FEATURES SETTING PROCEDURE .)
2. Change the sensitivity setting to a value other than the auto light sensitivity setting verified in Step 1.
3. Re-set to the auto light sensitivity setting verified in Step 1.
