Automatic wiper with rain
sensor
The vehicle may have rain sensing
windscreen wipers.
A sensor near the top centre of the
windscreen detects the amount
of water on the windscreen and
controls the frequency of the
windscreen wipers. Keep this area
clear of debris for best system
performance.
Caution
Switch off the rain sensor by
setting the lever to the OFF
position before entering a
car wash.
Replace the wiper blades as
soon as they do not completely
remove water from the
windscreen. If the blades are
not replaced, the wipers may
continue to wipe even though
most of the screen is dry.
To prevent damage to the
wiper blades, make sure the
windscreen is fully defrosted
before switching on the rain
sensor.
INT: The wipers cycle when water is
detected on the windscreen.
The wiper speed and
frequency are adjusted
automatically.
To manually adjust the sensitivity of
the rain sensing:
• Rotate the wheel downwards for
low sensitivity.
• Rotate the wheel upwards for
high sensitivity.
Windscreen washer
Pull the lever rearwards to wash the
windscreen.
Washer uid is sprayed onto
the windscreen and the wipers
cycle once.
