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
speed to the intensity of the rainfall.
Activation
This is controlled manually by the driver
by pushing lever
A to the "AUTO" posi-
tion.
It is accompanied by a message on the
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, linked
with the brightness sensor and lo-
cated in the centre of the wind-
screen behind the interior mirror.
Switch off the automatic wip-
ing when using an automatic car
wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until
the windscreen is completely clear
of ice before activating the auto-
matic wiping. It is accompanied by a message on
the multifunction display.
The automatic wiping must be re-
activated if the ignition has been off
for more than one minute, by push-
ing lever
A downwards.
Switching off
This is controlled manually by the driver
by moving lever A upwards and return-
ing it to position "0" . Operating fault
If an automatic wiping malfunction
occurs, the wipers will operate in inter-
mittent mode.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer.

advisable to:
- handle them with care,
- clean them regularly using soapy water,
