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" position.
It is accompanied by a message on the
multifunction display. In the minute following switching off
of the ignition, any action on the stalk
positions the wipers in the centre of the
windscreen.
This action enables you to position the
wiper blades for winter parking, clean-
ing or replacement.
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 sen-
sor and located in the centre
of the windscreen 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 automatic
wiping. The automatic wiping must be
reactivated if the ignition has
been off for more than one
minute, by pushing lever A down-
wards.

by moving lever A upwards and return-
ing it to position "0" .

curs, the wipers will operate in intermittent
