Essuie-vitre / lave-vitre avant (HJB - Renault)
Vehicle fitted with front
windscreen wiper rain sensor
The rain sensor is located on the winds-
creen, in front of the interior rear-view
mirror.
A single sweep
A short push will trigger one sweep
of the wipers.
B stop
When activating automatic wiping or
when increasing sensitivity, one sweep
of the blades is performed.
Note:
– the rain sensor is only intended as a
driving aid. In the event of reduced
visibility, the driver should manually
activate the wipers. In foggy weather
or during snowfalls, wiping is not au-
tomatically triggered and remains
under the driver’s control;
– in the event of temperatures below
zero, automatic wiping is not acti-
vated when the vehicle is started. It
is automatically activated as soon as
the vehicle exceeds a certain speed
(approximately 5 mph (8 km/h));
– do not activate automatic wiping in
dry weather;
– fully de-ice the windscreen before
activating automatic wiping;
– when washing the vehicle under a
roller type car wash, return the ring 1
to the B position to deactivate auto-
matic wiping.

C automatic wiper function
When this position is selected, the
system detects water on the wind-
screen and triggers the wipers at a
suitable wiping speed. It is possi-
ble to change the triggering thresh-
old and the time sweeps by turning
ring 2:
– F: minimum sensitivity;
– G: maximum sensitivity.
The higher the sensitivity, the quicker
the wipers will react and the faster the
wipe.
