an emergency to warn drivers of other
vehicles that you have had to stop in
an area where stopping is prohibited or
unexpected, or that you are obliged to
drive under special conditions.

warning lights may come on auto-
matically under heavy deceleration.
You can switch them off by pressing
switch 2 once.

Vehicles with automatic wiper
function
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. 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.
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.
– C normal wiping speed.

Approximately every year (refer to
the information on “Wiper blades” in
section 5).

at the end of the filling procedure, a
maximum of two further filling attempts
may be made, as there must be suffi-
