VISIBILITY









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.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked
with the sunshine sensor and locat-
ed 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.
The automatic rain sensitive wip-
ers must be reactivated if the igni-
tion has been off for more than one
minute, by pushing the stalk down-
wards.

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 oc-
curs, the wipers will operate in intermittent
mode.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.

To maintain the effectiveness of the
"fl at-blade" type of 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.




)
Any action on the wiper stalk in the
minute after switching off the ignition
places the blades vertically on the
screen.

To park the blades again, switch on
the ignition and operate the wiper
stalk.
