VISIBILITY
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
Automatic windscreen wiping
The windscreen wipers operate auto-
matically, without any action on the part
of the driver, if rain is detected (sensor
b e h i n d t h e i n t e r i o r m i r r o r ) , a d a p t i n g t h e i r

multifunction display. In the minute following switching off of
the ignition, any action on the stalk posi-
tions the wipers vertically.
This action enables you to position the
wiper blades for winter parking, cleaning
or replacement without damaging the
bonnet.
To park the wipers after this has been
done, switch on the ignition and operate
the stalk.
Do not cover the rain sensor, lin-
ked with the brightness sensor and
located in the centre of the winds-
creen behind the interior mirror.
Switch off the automatic wiping
when using an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until
the windscreen is completely clear
of ice before activating the automa-
tic wiping. It is accompanied by a message on
the multifunction display.
The automatic wiping must be
reactivated if the ignition has been
off for more than one minute, by
pushing lever
A downwards.
Switching off
This is controlled manually by the driver
by moving lever A upwards and retur-
ning it to position "0" . Operating fault

mittent mode.
