To activate the rain-sensing wipers, ensure the wiper lever is in the 'AUTO' position. The system will automatically adjust wiper speed based on the detected amount of rainfall.
First, check the wiper fuse in the fuse box. If the fuse is intact, inspect the wiper motor and connections for any visible damage or loose wiring.
The sensitivity of the rain-sensing wipers can be adjusted using the control knob on the wiper lever. Turn the knob to increase or decrease sensitivity.
Noisy wipers could be due to worn-out blades or debris on the windshield. Check the blades for wear and clean both the blades and windshield thoroughly.
To replace the wiper blades, lift the wiper arm away from the windshield, press the release tab on the wiper blade, and slide the blade off the arm. Attach the new blade in reverse order.
Slow wiper movement might indicate a problem with the wiper motor or a low electrical power supply. Check the battery and alternator, and ensure all connections are secure.
Yes, besides the automatic setting, you can manually control the wiper speed using the wiper control lever. Adjust the lever to the desired speed setting (intermittent, low, or high).
The 2018 Acura ILX does not come equipped with a rear wiper as part of its standard features.
To prevent wipers from freezing, raise them off the windshield when parked and ensure that the windshield is clear of ice before operating the wipers. Using winter wiper blades can also help.
Regularly inspect the wiper blades for wear and replace them every 6-12 months. Keep the windshield clean and ensure the wiper fluid reservoir is filled with appropriate windshield washer fluid.
