activated inadvertently. This could then
damage the windshield wiper blades or
scratch the windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch

frequency is automatically set according to
the intensity of the rain. In the Å position,
the rain sensor is more sensitive than in
the Ä position, causing the windshield
wipers to wipe more frequently.

prevents a person from being splashed

vehicle.
