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.

WARNING
Do not operate the washer for more
than 10 seconds at a time, and
never when the reservoir is empty.
While the lever is pulled towards the
steering wheel the washer will work in
conjunction with the wipers.
Once the wash and wipe cycle is
completed, the wipers will pause and then
perform one more wipe to clear the
windscreen.
After releasing the lever, the wipers
operate for a short time.
