When this position is selected, the
system detects water on the wind-
screen and triggers the wipers at a
suitable wiping speed. It is possi-
ble to change the triggering thresh-
old and the time sweeps by turning
ring 2:
– E : minimum sensitivity
– F : maximum sensitivity
NB: in foggy weather or during
snowfalls, the wiping is not automati-
cally triggered and remains under
the driver’s control.

Special note
When driving the vehicle, the wiping
speed slows down whenever the ve-
hicle stops. For example, fast wiping
speed will slow to normal wiping speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off,
wiping will return to the speed originally
selected.
If stalk
1 is operated, it overrides and
cancels the automatic function.
