AUTOMATIC RAIN SENSITIVE WINDSCREEN WIPERS
The windscreen wipers operate automatically, 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.
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
mirror.
Switch off the automatic rain sensitive wipers when using an
automatic 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.

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.
