Wipers and washersWIPER OPERATION
1. Rotate control to adjust sensitivity.
•Rain sensor maxi mum sensitivity.
• Rain sensor mini mum sensitivity.
2. Fast speed wipe.
3. Normal speed wipe.
4. Rain sensor activated wipe.
5. Windscreen washer button.
6. Single wipe.
Do not operate the windscreen wipers
on a dry screen.
In freezing or very hot conditions,
ensure that the wipers have not stuck to
the windscreen before operating.
Remove any snow, ice or frost from the
windscreen, around the wiper arms and
blades, and the screen scuttle, before
operating the wipers.
Note: If the wiper blades become stuck or
jammed, an electronic cut-out may temporarily
halt wiper operation. If this happens, switch off
the wipers and the ignition. Clear any
obstructions and free th e wiper blades, before
attempting to switch on the ignition.SPEED-DEPENDENT MODE
If vehicle speed drops below 2 km/h (1.2 mph)
with the wipers operating, the wipers will
switch to the next lowest speed. When vehicle
speed increases to over 8 km/h (5 mph), the
original wiper speed settings are restored.
RAIN SENSOR
Ensure that the wipers are switched off
before entering a car wash. If the rain
sensitive wipers operate during the car
washing process damage may occur to
the wiper mechanism.
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. Static droplets
may not be detected on initial start-up, use a
single wipe to clear the screen.
To activate the rain sensitive wipers, move the
wiper stalk to the rain sensor position and
adjust the rain sensor sensitivity control as
required. When rain sensitive wipers are
activated and when sensitivity is increased, a
single wipe will operate.

WINDSCREEN WASHERS
Some screenwash products are
flammable, do not allow screenwash
to come into contact with sources of
ignition.
Only screenwash products which are
approved for automotive use should be
used, and then only in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
To operate the wash/wipe, press and release
the button on the end of the wiper stalk. The
wipers will perform fi ve 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 fa st speed, the washer
jets will operate for two 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).
TIMED JET FUNCTION
If the timed jet functi on is configured, the
washer jets will only operate on the up stroke
of the wipers.
DRIP WIPE
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.
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.
This function can be
enabled/disabled by your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer.
