Range Rover Evoque: Rain sensor
Ensure that the wipers are
switched off
before entering a car wash. If the rain
sensitive wipers operate during the car
washing process, damage may occur to
the wiper mechanism.
The rain sensor is able to detect the presence and amount of rain/dirt/snow on the windscreen and automatically activates the windscreen wipers accordingly. Static droplets may not be detected on initial start-up, use a single wipe to clear the screen.
To activate the rain sensitivity wipers, move the wiper stalk to the rain sensor position (4). A single wipe will be actioned.
