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).

Be careful not to damage the cover latch by applying excessive force.
To remove the latch, pull aside the latch using the cover hole with
a small flat-blade screwdriver (A).

| 4. |
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.

Install the rain sensor after some time and avoid settling of
dust after installation.
