The sensor is somewhat more sensitive at night. This adjustment is automatic. The sensor is set to low sensitivity (wipers operate only with a large amount of water on the windshield, i.e., downpour). Activate the rain sensor by lifting the stalk switch to the AUTO position. The wipers make one sweep for reference to see how much water is on the windshield. In the future, the sensor compares the amount of water on the windshield with this reference value. If the system malfunctions, the wipers will operate at low speed when the stalk switch is set to the AUTO position.
