Wiper Parking
When using intermittent or
Rainsense wipes, the wipers
pause briefly on the windscreen.
If the wiper lever is moved to OFF
or if Rainsense and additional wipes
are not required, the wipers may
move to the base of the windscreen.
If the ignition is put in OFF while the
wipers are on LO, HI, or INT, they
will immediately stop.
If the windscreen wiper lever is then
moved to OFF before the driver
door is opened or within 10 minutes,
the wipers will restart and move to
the base of the windscreen.
If the ignition is put in OFF while the
wipers are performing wipes due to
windscreen washing or Rainsense
wipes, the wipers continue to run
until they reach the base of the
windscreen.
Rainsense
If equipped with Rainsense, a
sensor near the top centre of the
windscreen detects the amount of
water on the windscreen and
controls the frequency of the
windscreen wiper.
Keep this area of the windscreen
clear of debris to allow for best
system performance.
INT (Rainsense Wipe Sensitivity
Control) : Move the windscreen
wiper stalk to INT. Turn the
band on the wiper stalk to adjust the
sensitivity.
Turn the band up for more
sensitivity to moisture.
Turn the band down for less
sensitivity to moisture.
Move the windscreen wiper lever
out of the INT position to
deactivate Rainsense.
This feature can be changed. See
Comfort and Convenience under
Vehicle Personalisation 0 146.
Instruments and Controls
n
(Windscreen Washer) : Pull
the windscreen wiper lever toward
you to spray windscreen washer
fluid and activate the wipers. The
wipers will continue until the lever is
released or the maximum wash time
is reached. When the windscreen
wiper lever is released, additional
wipes may occur depending on how
INT
long the windscreen washer had
been activated. See Washer Fluid
0 268 for information on filling the
windscreen washer fluid reservoir.
Warning
In freezing weather, do not use
the washer until the windscreen is
warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the
windscreen, blocking your vision.
Wiper-Activated Headlamps
This feature activates the headlights
and parking lights after the
windscreen wipers have been in use
for about six seconds. For this
feature to work, the exterior lamp
control must be in AUTO.
