WIPER OPERATION
Do not operate the wipers on a dry
screen.
In freezing or hot conditions, make
sure the wipers have not stuck to
the glass. Use the winter park
position to lift the wiper blades
away from the screen. See 67,
WINTER PARK POSITION.
Remove any snow, ice or frost from
the windscreen, around the wiper
arms and blades, and the
windscreen scuttle, before
operating the wipers.
Vehicles with a rain sensor:
1. Automatic rain sensing mode: The
front wipers will respond and adapt
automatically to the ambient rain
conditions, selecting the appropriate
wiper frequency for the prevailing
conditions. The sensitivity of the
system can be adjusted by rotating the
collar (2).
Make sure the wipers are switched
off before entering a car wash. If
the automatic rain sensing system
operates during the car washing
process, damage may occur to the
wiper mechanism.
2. Rotate the collar to adjust the
sensitivity of the automatic rain sensing
mode when position (1) is selected.
The higher the sensitivity position the
more responsive the system will
become.
When automatic rain sensing mode is
selected, or when sensitivity is
increased, the system will perform a
single wipe.
3. Low speed continuous wipe.
4. High speed continuous wipe.
5. A single wipe of the windscreen, or
hold down for further continuous
wipes.
6. Windscreen wash/wipe: Pull and
release to operate the front washers
and wipers. The wipers will operate for
2 further wipes after the control is
released. After a few seconds, a drip
wipe will clear any residual washer fluid
from the windscreen. If more washer
fluid is required, pull and hold the
control position.
Note: The front wipers will not operate
while the bonnet is open.
