Automatic windscreen
wipers
In AUTO mode, the windscreen wipers operate
automatically and adapt to the intensity of the
rainfall.
Detection is via a rain/brightness sensor, located
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 lights up on the
instrument panel, accompanied by a
message.
Switching off
► Give the control stalk another brief push
downwards or set the control stalk to another
position (Int, 1 or 2).
This indicator lamp goes off on 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.
