Automatic rain sensitive
windscreen wipers
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
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 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.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked
with the sunshine sensor and locat-
ed in the centre of the windscreen
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. It is accompanied by a message on
the multifunction screen.
The automatic rain sensitive wip-
ers must be reactivated if the
ignition has been off for more than
one minute, by pushing the stalk
downwards.
Switching off
This is controlled manually by the driver
by moving the stalk upwards then re-
turning it to position "0" . Operating fault
If an automatic wiping malfunction oc-
curs, the wipers will operate in intermit-
tent mode.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer.
To retain the effectiveness of the
"fl at-blade" wiper blades, it is advis-
able 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.
