PRECAUTIONS FOR OF RAIN SENSOR
When the windshield wiper switch AUTO switch is in ON, the wiper will operate once, regardless of the amount of raindrops.
When it is not raining, the ignition switch to ON and the front wiper switch is in AUTO, the rain sensor may react and the wipers may operate when the rain sensor (inside detection area) of the windshield is touched by hand, or when a wet cloth or other material that contains water is close. This may lead to injury or damage to the wipers or other objects.
Also, if the rain sensor or a part nearby (windshield, rain sensor cover, etc.) is vibrated, the rain sensor may react and the wipers may operate.
If water repellent coating is applied to the windshield glass, the rain sensor may not be able to accurately detect the amount of rainfall and the auto wiper may not operate normally.

The rain sensor may not AUTO operation may not operate if the rain sensor temperature is 90°C (194°F) or higher, or -15°C (5°F) or less.

In this case, after removing the cause of the motor lock, the system can be returned to the normal condition by turning the ignition switch to ON from off, or turning the windshield wiper switch to continuous LO operation or continuous HI operation.
