Possiblecausesforfaultsandmisinterpretations relatingtothesensitivesurface oftherainandlightsensor (→Front
view) include:
—Damagedwiperblades:afilmofwaterorsmearscausedbydamagedwiperbladescanincreasethetimethe
wipersareswitchedon,canshortenthelengthoftheintervalsbetweenwipesorcausethewiperstorun
continuously.
—Insects:insectshittingthewindscreensurfacecancausethewiperstobeactivated.
—Saltdeposits:inwinter,saltdepositscancausethewiperstocontinuetowipethewindscreenwhenitisalmost
dry.
—Dirt:drydust,wax,windscreencoatings(lotuseffect),ordetergentdeposits(fromanautomaticcarwash)can
causetherain/lightsensortobecomelesssensitiveandreactlaterortooslowly,orpreventitfromreactingatall.
Cleanthesensitivesurfaceoftherainandlightsensoratregularintervalsandinspectthewiperbladesfordamage
(→Vehiclecare,exterior) .
—Crackinthewindscreen:awashcyclewillbetriggerediftherain/lightsensorisonwhenthewindscreenis
impactedbyastone.Therain/lightsensorwillthenregisterthereductioninsensitivityofthesurfacesandadjust
accordingly.Dependingonthesizeofthestoneimpact,theresponseoftherain/lightsensormaychange.
Werecommendthatyouuseanalcohol-basedglasscleanertoremovewaxandpolish.
Thewiperswilltrytowipeawayanyobstaclesthatareonthewindow.Thewiperswillstopmovingifthe
obstacleblockstheirpath.Removetheobstacleandswitchthewipersbackonagain.
