Automatic rain sensitive
windscreen wipers
The windscreen wipers operate auto-

of the driver, if rain is detected (sensor
behind the rear view mirror), adapting
their speed to the intensity of the rain-
fall.

This is controlled manually by the driver
by pushing the stalk downwards to the

"AUTO" position.
It is accompanied by a message on the
multifunction screen. This position permits release of the
windscreen wiper blades.
It is used for cleaning or replacement
of the blades. It can also be useful, in
winter, to detach the blades from the
windscreen.
In the moment following switching off of
the ignition, any action on the stalk posi-
tions the wipers vertically on the wind-
screen.
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 rear view mirror.
Switch off the automatic rain sen-
sitive wipers when using an auto-
matic car wash.
In winter, to avoid damaging the
wiper blades, it is advisable to wait
until the windscreen is completely
clear of ice before activating the
automatic rain sensitive wipers. The automatic rain sensitive wip-
ers must be reactivated if the igni-
tion has been off for more than one
minute, by pushing the stalk down-
wards.
