Nissan X-Trail e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
5.9.2. Rain-sensing auto wiper system
The rain-sensing auto wiper system can automatically turn on the wipers and adjust the wiper speed depending on the rainfall and the vehicle speed by using the rain sensor located on the upper part of the windscreen.
To set the rain-sensing auto wiper system, push the lever down to the “AUTO” position (1). The wiper will sweep once while the power switch is in the ON position.
The rain sensor sensitivity level can be adjusted by turning the knob toward (2) (Low) or (3) (High).
High — High sensitive operation
Low — Low sensitive operation
To turn the rain-sensing auto wiper system off, push up the lever to the “OFF” position, or pull down the lever to the other.
Do not touch the rain sensor and around it when the wiper switch is in the “AUTO” position and the power switch is in the ON position. The wipers may operate unexpectedly and cause an injury or may damage a wiper.
The rain-sensing auto wipers are intended for use during rain. If the switch is left in the “AUTO” position, the wipers may operate unexpectedly when dirt, fingerprints, oil film or insects are stuck on or around the sensor. The wipers may also operate when exhaust gas or moisture affect the rain sensor.
When the windscreen glass is coated with water repellent, the speed of the rain-sensing auto wipers may be higher even though the amount of the rainfall is small.
Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing auto wiper system when you use a car wash.
The rain-sensing auto wipers may not operate if rain does not hit the rain sensor even if it is raining.
Using genuine wiper blades is recommended for proper operation of the rain-sensing auto wiper system. (See ${1} for wiper blade replacement.)
