Automatic windscreen
wipers
In AUTO mode, the windscreen wipers operate
automatically, without any action on the part of
the driver. If rain is detected, the wiping adapts to
the intensity of the rainfall automatically.
Detection of rainfall is by means of a rain/
sunshine sensor at the top centre of the
windscreen, behind the rear view mirror.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor.
When using an automatic car wash,
switch off the automatic wipers and the
ignition.
In winter, wait until the windscreen is
completely clear of ice before activating the
automatic wipers.
Switching on
► Give a short downwards push to the control
stalk.
A wiping cycle confirms that the instruction has
been accepted.
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by a
message.
Switching off
► Give the control stalk another brief push
downwards or place the control stalk in another
position (Int, 1 or 2).
This indicatorlamp goes off in the
instrument panel, accompanied by a
message.
If the ignition has been off for more than
one minute, the automatic wipers must be
reactivated by pushing the control stalk
downwards.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the automatic wipers, the
wipers operate in intermittent mode.
Have them checked by a dealer or a qualified
workshop.
