The windscreen wipers operate automati-
cally, without any action on the part of the
driver, if rain is detected (sensor behind
the rear view mirror), adapting their speed
to the intensity of the rainfall.
Activation
Switching off Operating fault
If an automatic wiping fault occurs,
the wipers will operate in intermittent
mode.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop. Vertical windscreen wiper
position
To retain the effectiveness of the
"fl at-blade" wiper blades, it is ad-
visable to:
- handle them with care,
- clean them regularly using soapy water,
- not use them to hold a sheet of cardboard against the wind-
screen,
- replace them at the fi rst signs of wear.
Do not cover the rain sensor,
linked with the sunshine 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 complete-
ly clear of ice before activating
the automatic wiping.
The automatic wiping must be re-
activated if the ignition has been
off for more than one minute, by
pushing stalk
A downwards.
This position allows the wiper blades to
be lifted for winter parking, cleaning or re-
placement without damaging the bonnet.
In the minute following switching off of
the ignition, any action on the wiper
stalk positions the wipers vertically.
To park the wipers after this has been
done, switch on the ignition and operate
the wiper stalk.
This is controlled manually by the driv-
er by pushing stalk
A to the "AUTO"
position.
This is controlled manually by the driver
by moving stalk A upwards, returning it
to position "0" . It is accompanied by the indica-
tor lamp in the instrument panel
going off and a message in the
multifunction screen.
