Nissan Qashqai e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
5.5.1.3. Rain sensor (where fitted)
The sensor (1) of the rain-sensing auto wiper system located on the upper part of the windscreen, in front of the rear view mirror, can automatically turn on the wipers and adjust the wiper speed depending on the rainfall intensity and the vehicle speed when the lever in the <AUTO> position.
The sensitivity can be adjusted by rotating the ring of the wiper switch forward (A) — less sensitive, or backward (B) — more sensitive.
Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing auto wiper system when the car is in the car wash.
Leaving the lever in <AUTO> position will not harm the rain sensor system, although occasional unexpected activation of the wipers may occur.
If the switch is left in the <AUTO> position, the wipers may operate unexpectedly when dirt, fingerprints, oil film or insects are covering the windscreen of the rain sensor location. The wipers may also operate when exhaust gas or moisture affects the rain sensor.
Do not touch or cover the windscreen where the rain sensor is located. The wipers may operate unexpectedly when the wiper switch is in the <AUTO> position and the power switch is ON. This can cause an injury or may damage a wiper.
