Controls, Safety, Instruments The rain sensor remains switched off if the wiper
lever is already in position 1 when the ignition is
switched on.
To switch the rain sensor on again:
fMove wiper stalk to position 0 and then to
position 1 – switching on is confirmed by one
wipe of the windscreen – or
fOperate windscreen washer system 5 –
switching on is confirmed by three wipes of the
windscreen – or
fChange the sensitivity of the rain sensor with
four-stage switch A.Changing the sensitivity of the rain sensor
Sensitivity can be set with switch A in 4 stages:
fAdjust switch A upwards –
high sensitivity.
The setting is confirmed by one wipe of the
windscreen.
fAdjust switch A downwards –
low sensitivity.
2 – Front windscreen wiper – slow
fMove wiper stalk upwards to the second click.
3 – Front windscreen wiper – fast

cannot always be maintained by cruise control.
fTo obtain sufficient engine braking or a better
engine-speed range, therefore, you have to
change down to a lower gear.
