Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with the brightness sensor and located in the centre of the windscreen behind the rear view 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 automatic wiping.
