Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction of the rain/

Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor
located at the top centre of the
windscreen behind the interior rear view
mirror; the associated functions would no
longer be controlled.
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor
may detect su󰀩cient light. For this
reason, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
The inner surface of the windscreen may
become misted up and a󰀨ect the proper
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
