Steps
Park the car safely and switch the ignition on. Keep the gear in park or neutral so you can test the wipers without looking away from the road.
Find the wiper stalk behind the steering wheel. The symbols printed on it show the wiper speeds and the AUTO or rain-drop position.
Twist or push the stalk to the AUTO position. From then on the wipers start and stop by themselves when rain hits the windshield sensor.
Turn the small dial or ring on the stalk to set sensitivity. A higher setting makes the wipers sweep more often in light drizzle.
Test it by sprinkling a little water on the top centre of the windshield, where the rain sensor sits behind the glass. The wipers should start within a second or two.
Set higher sensitivity for heavy monsoon rain. If the sensor still lags behind the downpour, move the stalk to the manual fast speed.
Return the stalk to OFF before a car wash or a long park under trees. Auto mode can trigger the wipers when you least expect it.
Tips and common mistakes
Wipe the sensor patch at the top centre of the windshield regularly, because dust and old wiper smears make auto mode erratic.
Never leave the stalk in AUTO at a car wash or while scraping ice, since the wipers can start and damage the arms.
If the wipers sweep on a dry day, clean the glass around the sensor and lower the sensitivity setting first.
Questions
Where is the rain sensor on the XUV 7XO?
It sits behind the windshield at the top centre, usually near the interior mirror mount. Keep that patch of glass clean for reliable triggering.
Why do my automatic wipers run when there is no rain?
Dirt, water streaks or a high sensitivity setting can set them off. Clean the sensor area and drop the sensitivity one step.
Do the auto wipers work with the car switched off?
No. The ignition needs to be on and the stalk must sit in the AUTO position for the rain sensor to work.
