How does the rain sensor work in my BMW?

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.

 

Press lever up once from the 0 position. Wiping operation is started. The LED in the wiper lever is illuminated. In frosty conditions, wiping operation may not start.

Turn the thumbwheel to adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor.
  • Upward: high rain sensor sensitivity.
  • Downward: low rain sensor sensitivity.

 

Please note:  If the rain sensor is activated, the wipers can accidentally start moving in car washes. There is a risk of damage to property. Deactivate the rain sensor in car washes.

To deactivate rain sensor, press lever back into the 0 position.
