I have an '11 LR4 HSE LUX model with the vision assist package.
I've been wondering what the function is of each of the windshield sensors. I took a picture of my windshield and labeled the sensors 1, 2, and 3. [FYI- this picture is taken from slightly below #1 and slightly above #2 & #3]
I think their functions are as follows. Let me know if anyone knows I'm wrong (and please correct me):
1 = Rain sensor for automatic wipers
2 = Sensor for auto-on headlamps and automatic highbeams
3 = Light sensor for the auto-dimming rear view mirror
Also, does anyone think that my EZ-Pass box (the white square above #3) would be blocking or inhibiting the light that #3 receives? As far as I can tell, the auto-dimming rear view mirror and auto-on headlamps/automatic highbeams work as they should.
Has anyone else with an EZ-Pass put it in a different location?
Thanks for the insight!
