| • |
The dust or foreign substance on the rain sensor has a bad effect
upon the rain sensor capability, so protect the sensor surface with
protection cover until installing the rain sensor to bracket for
accurate funtion.
|
| • |
As the coupling pad on the rain sensor surface has adhesive strength,
it may stick to the windshield based on environmental condition.
|
| • |
Carefully separate the rain sensor from the windshield as it
may be damaged if separated by force.
|
|
| 1. |
Reomve the mirror wiring cover (A).

Rain sensor module is attached to the front windshield by glue. To replace
the front windshield, remove the rain sensor module from the existing front
windshield and install on the new front windshield.

| • |
For windshield with reflection layer that reflects infrared rays
in sensing field, install the rain sensor in the field with the
reflection layer removed.

dust after installation.
