How does the rain sensor work in my MINI?

The rain sensor automatically controls the wiper operation depending on the intensity of the rainfall. The sensor is located on the windshield, directly in front of the interior mirror. 

To activate the rain sensor:

  1. Push the wiper lever upward from position 0, once.
  2. Wiping operation is started.
  3. The LED in the wiper lever is illuminated. In frosty conditions, wiping operation may not start. 

To deactivate the rain sensor:

  • Push the wiper lever back to position 0. 

To adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor, turn the knurled wheel on the wiper lever as follows: –

  • To set the rain sensor sensitivity to high, turn the knurled wheel up.
  • To set the rain sensor sensitivity to low, turn the knurled wheel down.
