C Automatic wiper system
Some models without autowipers are
fitted with a speed-dependent front
screen wiper system.
When the vehicle is slowed to walking
speed or is brought to a standstill, the
wiper speed will automatically switch to
the next lower wiper speed setting.
When the vehicle speed is increased, the
wiper speed will return to the
manually-chosen setting.
Moving the wiper lever when the system
is operating will switch off the system.
If the vehicle is again slowed to walking
speed or is brought to a standstill, the
system is reactivated.
AUTOWIPERS
CAUTIONS
Do not switch autowipers on in dry
weather conditions. The rain sensor
is very sensitive and the wipers may
operate if dirt, mist or flies hit the
windscreen. Replace the wiper blades as soon as
they begin to leave bands of water
and smears. If you do not replace
them, the rain sensor will continue to
detect water on the windscreen and the
wipers will operate, even though the
majority of the windscreen is dry. Fully defrost the windscreen in icy
conditions before you switch
autowipers on.
Switch autowipers off before you
enter a car wash.

Low sensitivity
A
OnB
High sensitivity
C
If you switch autowipers on, the wipers
will not cycle until water is detected on
the windscreen. The rain sensor will then
continuously measure the amount of
water on the windscreen and adjust the
speed of the wipers automatically.
Adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor
using the rotary control. With low
sensitivity, the wipers will operate when
the sensor detects a lot of water on the
windscreen. With high sensitivity, the
wipers will operate if the sensor detects
a small amount of water on the
windscreen.
WINDSCREEN WASHERS WARNING
Do not operate the washer for more
than 10 seconds at a time, and
never when the reservoir is empty.
While the button at the end of the lever is
pressed the washer will work in
conjunction with the wipers.
After releasing the button, the wipers
operate for a short time.
REAR WINDOW WIPER AND

service position to change the wiper
blades.

wipers will return to their normal position
as soon as you switch on the ignition so
make sure that the outside of the
windscreen is free from snow and ice
before you switch on the ignition. Service position 1. Turn on the ignition.

turn the ignition off as soon as the
wiper blades have reached the service
position.
