With the engine running, move stalk 1
– A park.
– B automatic wiper function
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.
– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.
Special note
When driving,
the wiping speed slows
down whenever the vehicle stops. The
speed will change from fast wiping
speed 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 over-
rides and cancels the automatic func-
tion.
With the ignition on,
move stalk 1
– A park.
– B intermittent wiping.
The wipers will pause for several
seconds between sweeps. It is
possible to change the time be-
tween sweeps by turning ring 2.
