Note: If the wiper blades become stuck
or jammed, an electronic cut-out will
temporarily halt the wiper's operation. If
this happens, switch off the wipers and
the vehicle's ignition, when safe to do so.
Clear any obstructions and free the wiper
blades, before attempting to switch on
the ignition.
RAIN SENSOR
The rain sensor (if fitted) is mounted on
the inside of the windscreen, behind the
rear-view mirror. The sensor is able to
detect the presence and amount of water
on the windscreen and automatically
activate the windscreen wipers
accordingly.
Note: Static droplets may not be detected
on initial start-up. A single wipe should be
used to clear the windscreen.
To activate the rain sensitive wipers, move
the wiper control to the AUTO position.
The behaviour of the system may be
adjusted to the driver's preference by
rotating the collar (2).
Note: If the wiper control is turned to the
AUTO position, the wipers will not operate
if either of the front doors are open.
Note: In dry and often sunny conditions,
optical influences and dirt accumulation
on the windscreen may result in the
windscreen wipers activating inadvertently.
To prevent this, it is recommended that,
under these conditions, the wiper controls
are returned to the OFF position.
The Rain sensor feature can be enabled/
disabled in the Instrument panel menu.
See 49, INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU.
SPEED-DEPENDENT MODE
Front wipers
If the vehicle's speed drops below 8 km/
h (5 mph) with the wipers operating, the
wipers will switch to the next lowest
speed. When the vehicle's speed increases
to over 8 km/h (5 mph), the original wiper
speed setting is automatically restored.
Vehicles without a rain sensor fitted will
also increase the frequency of the
intermittent front wipe when the vehicle's
speed increases.
This feature can be enabled/
disabled by your Retailer/
Authorised Repairer.
Rear wiper
The frequency of the intermittent rear
wiper will increase when the vehicle's
speed increases.
This feature can be enabled/
disabled by your Retailer/
Authorised Repairer.
DRIP WIPE
If the Drip wipe function is configured, the
wipers will operate a few seconds after a
wash/wipe cycle has finished, to clear any
remaining drips from the windscreen.
This function can be enabled/
disabled by a Retailer/
Authorised Repairer.
WINTER PARK POSITION
To prevent damage to the bonnet,
make sure that the wiper arms are
in the Winter park position before
lifting the wiper blades away from
the windscreen.
