Association with the automatic
"Guide-me-home" lighting
Association with the automatic illumination of headlamps provides "guide-me-home"
lighting with the following additional op-
tions:


- selection of the lighting duration to 15,
30 or 60 seconds in the functions that
can be set in the vehicle confi gura-
tion menu (except in the case of the
monochrome screen A, for which the
duration is set: 60 seconds),

- automatic activation of "guide-me-
home" lighting when automatic illumi-
nation of headlamps is in operation.


Operating fault In fog or snow, the sunshine sen-
sor may detect suffi cient light.
Therefore, the lighting will not
come on automatically.

sor, coupled with the rain sensor
and located in the centre of the

Vertical windscreen wiper position

To retain the effectiveness of the
"fl at-blade" wiper blades, it is ad-
visable to:


- handle them with care,

- clean them regularly using
soapy water,

- not use them to hold a sheet
of cardboard against the
windscreen,

- replace them at the fi rst signs
of wear.
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 wiping
when using an automatic car
wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait
until the windscreen is completely
clear of ice before activating the
automatic wiping.
The automatic wiping must be re-
activated if the ignition has been
off for more than one minute, by
pushing stalk A
downwards.
This position allows the wiper blades to
be lifted for winter parking, cleaning or re-
placement without damaging the bonnet.
In the minute following switching off of
the ignition, any action on the wiper
stalk positions the wipers vertically.
To park the wipers after this has been
done, switch on the ignition and operate
the wiper stalk.
This is controlled manually by the driver by
pushing stalk A
to the "AUTO"
position.

This is controlled manually by the driver
by moving stalk A
upwards, returning it
to position "0"

tor lamp in the instrument panel
