70 Instruments and controlsWipers and washers There are three intermittent wiper positions.
Moving the control stalk to the
spring-loaded position between 0 and 2 will
produce a single sweep of the wipers.
The wipers are designed for optimal clean-
ing at all driving speeds. At higher speeds,
it may be possible to detect a slight ”sweep-
ing” sound. This may be due to the
increased air pressure on the blades at
higher speeds.Headlight washersIf dim-dipped beam is on, the headlights are
washed every seventh time the windshield-
washers are used or if 2 minutes have
elapsed since the windshield was last
washed. If the headlights are not on they are
only washed the first time the windshield is
washed. The headlight washers cannot be
activated separately.
The headlight washers are of the high-pres-
sure type, which means that other parts of
the car may become wet if you activate the
washers while the car is stationary.Rain sensing wipers (option)
The rain sensor automatically controls the
windshield wipers. The sensor is located on
the windshield beside the rearview mirror.
The system varies between single sweeps
of the windshield and continuous wiping
depending on how much water or snow
there is on the windscreen.Activate the system by lifting the control
stalk to position 1. The wipers make one
sweep for reference to see how much water
and snow is on the windshield. In future, the
sensor compares the amount of water and
snow on the windshield with this reference
value. When the engine has been switched
off, the control stalk must be moved to posi-
tion 0 and back to position 1 to reactivate the
sensor.
Set the sensitivity using the control on the
wiper stalk (the same control as used for
wiper delay on cars not fitted with a rain sen-
sor). The sensor has three sensitivity set-
tings. It is most sensitive when in the upper-
most position (1). When a higher degree of
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, turn the rain
sensor off if the ignition is ON when clear-
ing snow and ice from the windscreen.
NOTETo avoid damaging the windshield
wipers, turn the rain sensor off before
washing the car in an automatic carwash.

Rearview mirrorsThe rear-view mirror has day/night positions
that can be selected by means of a knob
beneath the mirror. Adjust the mirror in day
position.
Door mirrorsThe passenger side door mirror is of the
wide-angle ‘‘aspheric” type.
The adjusting switch is on the driver’s door.
If the car is equipped with a programmable
driver’s seat, the settings of the door mirrors
can also be stored in the preset buttons for
the seat (see page 120).
The mirrors are heated, and the heating
comes on and goes off with the rear-window
heater.
The mirror glass can also be adjusted man-
ually by gently pressing the glass in the
desired direction.The door mirrors are designed to fold back
if knocked. They can also be fully retracted
for parking in tight spaces, such as on the
car deck of a ferry. Remember to fold them
out again before driving off.
WARNING
Take care not to trap your fingers
between the door and the mirror when
folding the mirror out again. NOTEThe door mirrors should be fully retracted
before the car enters an automatic car
wash.

124 Interior equipment and trunkCars equipped with a programmable
driver’s seat also have the ability to angle
the passenger’s mirror down when revers-
ing, e.g. for a better view of the curb.
After selecting reverse, press the tiny button
adjacent to the doormirror switch to tilt the
mirror. The mirror will be reset automatically
when reverse gear is deselected.
Rearview mirror with auto dimming
functionThe interior rearview mirror has two sen-
sors, one forward-facing and one rear-fac-
ing.
The system is activated when the for-
ward-facing sensor detects that it is dark
outside and the rear-facing sensor detects,
for example, if the car following has not
dimmed its headlights. The rearview mirror
is then darkened to prevent the strong light
source from dazzling the driver. This dark-
ening is stepless.
The mirror returns to its normal state when
the strong light source diminishes.
The auto dimming function can be turned
OFF with the switch on the lower edge of the
rear-view mirror.
NOTE
Towing a trailer can cause the system to
malfunction, as the rear-facing sensor may
sense light from the trailer.

Child safety: rear windows (ON/OFF)The window switches on the rear doors can
be rendered inoperative by the ON/OFF
switch in the panel on the center console.
When the switch is ON, the rear side win-
dows can be operated by the switch on each
rear door. The switch’s back lighting will be
activated.
When the switch is OFF, the rear side win-
dows can only be operated from the panel
on the center console. When off, the
switch’s back lighting will also be switched
off.
Sunroof (Option in Canada) The sunroof is operated by the switch on the
overhead panel above the rearview mirror.
The sunroof can be opened partially or fully.
WARNING
 Bear in mind the pinch hazard when
operating the sunroof. Make sure that
all passengers keep their heads,
hands and fingers clear of the opening
before operating the sunroof. Serious
personal injury may otherwise be
caused.
Always remove the ignition key when
leaving the car, to avert the danger of
injury arising from unattended children
operating the sunroof.
