Special position of the 
windscreen wipers     
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 in the 
screen.    This position permits release of the 
windscreen wiper blades. 
  It is used for cleaning or replacement 
of the blades. It can also be useful, in 
winter, to detach the blades from the 
windscreen. 
  In the moment following switching the 
ignition off, any action on the stalk posi-
tions the wipers vertically on the wind-
screen. 
  To park the wipers after this has been 
done, switch on the ignition and operate 
the stalk. 
  Do not cover the rain sensor, linked 
with the sunshine sensor and located in the centre of the windscreen be-
hind 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.  
 
 
The automatic rain sensitive wipers 
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" 
. 
  It is accompanied by a message in the 
screen.    
Operating fault 
  If an automatic wiping malfunction 
occurs, the wipers will operate in inter-
mittent mode. 
  Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualifi ed workshop. 
  To maintain the effectiveness of 
the "fl at-blade" wiper blades, it is 
advisable to: 
   
 
-   handle them with care, 
   
-   clean them regularly using 
soapy water, 
   
-   avoid using them to retain card-
board on the windscreen, 
   
-   replace them at the fi rst signs of 
wear.
