Acura RLX Rain Sensing Headlight Integrated Wipers 2019 Sedan Specification

The 2019 Acura RLX Sedan features an advanced Rain Sensing Headlight Integrated Wipers system designed to enhance driver convenience and safety. This intelligent system automatically activates the windshield wipers and adjusts their speed based on the intensity of rainfall detected by sensors. The integration with the headlight system ensures that the headlights are automatically turned on when rain is detected, improving visibility in adverse weather conditions.

The system utilizes optical sensors mounted near the rearview mirror to detect moisture levels on the windshield. When rain is detected, the sensors transmit signals to the wiper control module, which then activates the wipers at an appropriate speed. The wipers can operate at variable speeds, adjusting dynamically to the amount of rain, from intermittent wiping during light drizzle to continuous wiping in heavy rain. This automatic adjustment minimizes driver distraction and effort.

The headlight integration feature is particularly beneficial for driving safety. When the rain sensors activate the wipers, the headlights are automatically turned on, ensuring that the vehicle is visible to other drivers and pedestrians in low-visibility conditions. This automatic headlight activation complies with road safety regulations and reduces the risk of accidents.

The Rain Sensing Headlight Integrated Wipers system in the 2019 Acura RLX enhances the overall driving experience by providing a seamless and intuitive response to changing weather conditions. This system exemplifies Acura's commitment to integrating advanced technology for improved driver safety, convenience, and vehicle performance.

Acura RLX Rain Sensing Headlight Integrated Wipers 2019 Sedan F.A.Q.

How do I activate the rain-sensing wipers on my 2019 Acura RLX sedan?

To activate the rain-sensing wipers, ensure the wiper lever is in the 'Auto' position. The system will automatically adjust the wiper speed based on the intensity of the rain.

What should I do if the rain-sensing wipers are not responding properly?

First, clean the sensor area on the windshield to ensure there are no obstructions. If the issue persists, check the wiper settings in the vehicle’s infotainment system to ensure they are enabled.

Can the sensitivity of the rain-sensing wipers on the Acura RLX be adjusted?

Yes, you can adjust the sensitivity by using the control knob on the wiper lever. Turning it will increase or decrease the system’s sensitivity to rain intensity.

What maintenance is required for the rain-sensing wipers?

Regularly check and replace the wiper blades to ensure they are in good condition. Additionally, keep the sensor area clean and free from dirt and debris.

Why do my wipers activate without rain on my Acura RLX?

This can occur if the sensor is mistakenly triggered by debris or a car wash. Ensure the sensor area is clean and check if the auto wiper setting is suitable for your current conditions.

How do I manually override the rain-sensing wipers?

To manually override the rain-sensing feature, move the wiper lever to a different position such as 'Low' or 'High' for continuous wiper action.

Are the headlight integrated wipers on my Acura RLX affected by daylight sensors?

No, the rain-sensing wipers operate independently of the daylight sensors. However, the headlights may automatically turn on during low visibility conditions as detected by the sensors.

What should I do if the rain-sensing wipers are too sensitive or not sensitive enough?

Adjust the sensitivity using the control dial on the wiper lever. If the problem persists, consult your Acura dealer as there might be a calibration issue with the sensor.

How can I test the rain-sensing wipers to ensure they are functioning correctly?

Simulate rain by spraying water on the sensor area of the windshield. The wipers should activate automatically. Adjust sensitivity settings if needed.

Do the rain-sensing wipers require any software updates?

Typically, the rain-sensing wipers do not require software updates. However, ensure your vehicle's infotainment system is up to date as it might affect overall sensor functionality.
