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.
Switching off
This is controlled manually by the driver by moving the stalk upwards
then returning 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
intermittent mode.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. The automatic rain sensitive wipers must be reactivated if the
ignition has been off for more than one minute, by pushing the
stalk downwards.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with the sunshine sensor
and located in the centre of the windscreen behind the rear view

SPECIAL POSITION OF THE WINDSCREEN
WIPERS
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 cardboard on the windscreen,
- replace them at the fi rst signs of wear.
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 positions the wipers vertically on the windscreen.
To park the wipers after this has been done, switch on the ignition and
operate the stalk.

in your country. This system can be used to its full potential on a
closed circuit.
Automatic mode
The spoiler rises automatically according to the speed and has two
positions.
- When the speed of the vehicle is higher than 50 mph (85 km/h), the
spoiler rises automatically to the intermediate position A
. It remains
in this position for as long as the speed remains above 35 mph
(55 km/h).
- If the speed of the vehicle falls below 35 mph (55 km/h), the spoiler
retracts automatically.
- When the speed of the vehicle is higher than 95 mph (155 km/h),
the spoiler rises automatically to the maximum position B
. It
remains in this position for as long as the speed remains above
90 mph (142 km/h).
- If the speed of the vehicle falls below 90 mph (142 km/h), the
spoiler retracts automatically to the intermediate position.
In this mode, the indicator lamp in the control button is off.
Manual mode
