Installing rain sensor
INFORMATION:
Limited functionality of the rain sensor if the following points are not observed:
-
When assembling the rain sensor, air must not be trapped between the windscreen and the silicone layer on the rain sensor.
-
When installing the rain sensor, a temperature of approx. 20°C for the windscreen and the rain sensor must be ensured. If necessary, carefully heat
the windscreen with a hot-air gun or similar.
-
Contact surface must be free of grease and dirt.
-
The sensor on the silicone surface must not be touched by fingers.
-
If the sensor is new, remove the protection cap before the sensor is pressed onto the windshield.
-
When inserting a new sensor, make sure that no air pockets are caught between the silicone and the windscreen. Air pockets could impair the
function of the sensor.
