FRONT INTERMITTENT WIPING
JJ000414
In Intermittent mode, the driver can
adjust the wiping frequency by turning
the ring (2) fig. 73 to one of the 5
available positions.
73
The first (upper) position corresponds
to the longest time interval between 2
wipes for light rain.
The last (lower) position corresponds
to the shortest time interval between 2
wipes for heavy rain.
A rotation of the ring from a higher
position to a lower position triggers a
confirmation wiping.
After the ignition has been switched off
for more than 1 minute with the wiper
control stalk in the INT, 1 or 2 position,
when the ignition is switched on again:
the system works as soon as the
vehicle exceeds 10 km/h (6 mph), if the
outside temperature is below +3°C.
the system works immediately, if the
outside temperature is above +3°C.
AUTOMATIC WINDSCREEN
WIPERS
In AUTO mode, the front wipers work
automatically and adapt to the intensity
of precipitation depending on the
sensitivity of the sensor selected.
The rainfall detection function uses a
rain/ sunshine sensor located at the top
centre of the windscreen, behind the rear
view mirror.
NOTE In certain weather conditions (e.g.
fog, frost, snow, projections on salty
roads), the driver may have to return to
manual wiping.
