Wipers and washers

Speed-dependent mode
If vehicle speed drops below 2 km/h (1.2 mph)
with the wipers operating, the wiper frequency
automatically reduces. The wipers will switch
to the next lowest speed. When the vehicle’s
speed increases to over 8 km/h (5 mph), the
original wiper speed settings are restored
automatically.
RAIN SENSOR
The rain sensor is able to detect the presence
and amount of rain, dirt or snow on the
windscreen and automatically activates the
windscreen wipers accordingly.
To activate the rain sensitive wipers, move the
wiper stalk to the rain sensor/intermittent delay
position and adjust the ra in sensor sensitivity
control as required. See WINDSCREEN
WIPERS (page 88).
WINDSCREEN WASHERS
To operate the windscreen washers press and
release the button on the e nd of the wiper stalk.
The wipers will perform 5 normal speed wipes,
followed by a drip wipe (if configured). The
washers will operate during the first two wipes.
If the washers are operated with the wipers
operating at normal or fast speed, the washer
jets will operate for tw o wipes and operation of
the wipers will not be affected.
Note: If the button is pressed and held, the
wipers and washers w ill operate at normal
speed until the button is released (or for a
maximum of 10 seconds). After the button is
released, the wipers will operate for a further
three wipes, followed by a drip wipe (if
configured). If the wipe rs are already operating
at normal or fast speed, operating the washers
will not affect wiper operation.
CAUTION
Ensure that the wipers are switched off
before entering a car wash. If the rain

Low screen wash
If the low washer fluid warning is on, the
windscreen wipers will not operate when the
wash/wipe is activated, even though there may
be washer fluid remaining in the reservoir
which is sprayed onto the screen. This is to
prevent damage to the wiper blades, scratching
of the glass or smearing dirt across the screen.
Normal, fast or single wipe can be selected
manually, to clear any spray from the
windscreen.
Timed jet function
If the timed jet func tion is configured,
the washer jets will only operate on the
up stroke of the wipers.
This function can be enabled/disabled by your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

If the drip wipe function is configured,
the wipers will operate four seconds
after a wash wipe cycle has finished, to
clear any remaining drips from the windscreen.
This function can be enabled/disabled by your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Blocked jets
If a washer jet becomes blocked, use a thin
strand of wire to unblock the jet by inserting
the wire into the jet. Ensure that the wire is
completely remove d after unblocking.
HEADLAMP WASHERS
Headlamp power wash operates automatically
with the windscreen wash, and will only
operate if the headlamps are switched on and
there is sufficient washer fluid in the reservoir.
Headlamp wash operates with every fourth
operation of the screen wa shers, provided that
ten minutes have elapsed since the last
operation of the headlamp washers.
Note: The power wash sequence is reset when
the headlamps or the ignition are turned off.
Note: Headlamp power wash is inhibited when
the low washer fluid warning is on.
CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES
The wiping edge of the blades should be
checked and cleaned periodically. Check the
blade rubber and replace the blade immediately
if cracks, splits or roughness are detected, to
prevent damage to the glass.
Clean the blade edge by wiping with a soft cloth
or sponge, using wa rm soapy water.
If the wipers fail to clear the windscreen when
operated, check the cond ition of the blade and
replace if necessary.

to ensure that none of the occupants have any
part of their body in a position where it could
be trapped. Even with an anti-trap system
serious injury or death can occur.
