rain sensor

I read the manual and was told that i need to turn the rain sensor off when I wash the car. Can"t figure out how to do that and the manual is not much help.

Best way is to find a kid under the age of 12 and ask him to do it....

That made me laugh ... Thanks!

The sensor select is probably in one of the menu settings. I need to slow mine down. They're just too wacky in light rain.

Sensitivity is in the settings.

When the auto wipers are on, there's a wiper with an A in the tach. You turn them on/off by pressing the tip of the stalk.

I found that rain-X over the sensor area really helped with its ability to have a realistic wipe to rain ratio.
