Acura RLX Sport Hybrid Rain Sensing Headlight Integrated Wipers 2019 Sedan Specification

The 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid sedan is equipped with a state-of-the-art Rain Sensing Headlight Integrated Wiper system, designed to enhance driver safety and convenience. This advanced system automatically activates the windshield wipers and adjusts their speed based on the intensity of the rainfall detected. The integration with the headlights ensures optimal visibility by activating the headlights when the wipers are in use, which is particularly beneficial during adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, or fog.

The rain sensor, typically located near the rearview mirror, uses infrared light to detect moisture on the windshield. When moisture is detected, the system automatically triggers the wipers and adjusts their speed without requiring driver input. This feature ensures that the driver can maintain focus on the road, enhancing overall safety. The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted via the vehicle's infotainment system, allowing drivers to customize the system to their preference.

The headlight integration feature works seamlessly with the rain sensing wipers. The system engages the vehicle’s headlights as soon as the wipers are activated, ensuring that the car is visible to other road users in low-visibility conditions. This automatic activation of the headlights not only improves the driver's visibility but also complies with various regional regulations requiring headlights to be on when wipers are in use.

The 2019 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid’s Rain Sensing Headlight Integrated Wiper system exemplifies Acura’s commitment to advanced safety features and driver convenience. This sophisticated technology combines sensors and automated responses to provide a safer and more comfortable driving experience, particularly in challenging weather conditions.

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

If the rain sensing wipers are not responding, ensure that the windshield is clean and free from obstructions. Check the wiper settings and make sure the system is activated. If the problem persists, consult your Acura dealer for a diagnostic check.

How do I maintain the rain sensing wiper system?

To maintain the rain sensing wiper system, regularly clean the windshield and wiper blades to prevent dirt and debris buildup. Inspect the wiper blades for wear and replace them as needed to ensure optimal performance.

Can the rain sensing wipers be used in winter weather conditions?

Yes, the rain sensing wipers can be used in winter weather conditions. However, it is important to clear heavy snow or ice from the windshield manually before using the wipers to prevent damage.

What are the steps to activate the rain sensing wipers on my Acura RLX Sport Hybrid 2019?

To activate the rain sensing wipers, turn the wiper control lever to the 'Auto' position. The system will automatically engage when it detects rain on the windshield.

Will the rain sensing wipers drain my car battery if left on?

No, the rain sensing wipers will not drain your car battery if left in the 'Auto' position. They only operate when the ignition is on and moisture is detected.

How can I test if the rain sensing wipers are functioning correctly?

To test the rain sensing wipers, spray a light mist of water on the windshield while the wipers are set to 'Auto'. The wipers should activate and adjust their speed based on the amount of water detected.

What type of sensor is used for the rain sensing wipers on the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid 2019?

The rain sensing wipers use an optical sensor located near the rearview mirror to detect moisture on the windshield. This sensor sends signals to the wiper control system to adjust the wiper speed accordingly.

Are there any specific cleaning products recommended for maintaining the rain sensing system?

It is recommended to use a non-abrasive glass cleaner for the windshield and a mild detergent for the wiper blades. Avoid using products containing wax or silicone, as they can interfere with the sensor's ability to detect moisture.
