The rain sensing system in this vehicle has a different control logic compared to conventional rain sensing system. In the
conventional rain sensing system, the rain sensor unit controls the wipers directly. However, in this vehicle, the rain
sensor communicates the data with STICS, and the STICS controls the wiper motor.

Signals from STICS to rain sensor unit contain the information that there is no rain under the current mode based on
following conditions;

- Washer switch is operating,

- Operating under MIST mode, or

- The multifunction wiper switch is in AUTO mode.

For more details, refer to the “Rain Sensing Wiper” section in this manual.

4) Seat warmer relay (front seats) / Back sonar

Each seat warmer installed in the front seats has its own relay in ICM box.

When pressing the seat warmer switch prepared for each front seat, the seat cushion and seatback get warm. The
thermistor in the seat maintains the warming temperature at around 45¡ÆC by cutting off or connecting the power to the
heated wire.

The heated glass (defogger) system contains the windshield heated glass, outside rearview mirror heated glass, and
tailgate heated glass.

When the seat warmer switch is operated, the seat warmer relay in engine compartment fuse box supplies the power to
tailgate glass and outside rearview mirrors. This is controlled by STICS. However, the windshield heated glass (deicer)
is controlled by the separate control unit installed behind the driver side instrument panel undercover.

The fuse (30A) for tailgate heated glass and outside rearview mirror heated glass and the fuse (15A) for windshield
heated glass are in the engine compartment fuse box.
