Autowipers
WARNINGS
In icy conditions, make sure that the
windscreen has been fully defrosted
before selecting autowipers.
Switch off the autowipers feature
before entering a car wash.
Replace the wiper blades as soon as
they begin to leave bands of water
and smears or when they do not
completely remove water from the
windscreen. If the blades are not replaced,
the rain sensor will continue to detect
water on the windscreen. This will result
in the wipers continuing to operate
although the majority of the windscreen is
dry.
Note: The autowipers feature is intended
for use during wet weather conditions only
and is very sensitive to anything which
touches the windscreen near to the rain
sensor. Objects such as dirt, mist or flies
hitting the windscreen in this location may
cause the wipers to wipe even though the
windscreen is mostly dry.
Note: The autowipers feature should not
be selected when it is snowing, foggy or
when the roads have been salted. In these
weather conditions, select an alternative
position if necessary.
When autowipers is selected, the wipers
will cycle once regardless of whether the
windscreen is wet or dry. Thereafter, or
when the ignition is switched on with
autowipers selected, the wipers will not
cycle until water is detected on the
windscreen. Alternatively, move the lever
to another position and then select
autowipers, or operate the washer.
