WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
automatic wiping, the wiper is set to
intermittent wiping. Contact an au-
thorised dealer.
The operation of the rain sensor can
be disturbed in the event of:
– damaged wiper blades; a screen
of water or traces left by a blade in
the sensor's detection zone may
increase the response time of the
automatic wiper, or increase the
wiping frequency;
– a windscreen with any chip or
crack level with the sensor, or a
windscreen covered in dust, dirt,
insects, ice, the use of washing
wax and water-repellent chemi-
cals; the automatic wiping will
be less sensitive, or even unres-
ponsive.

Precautions
E
– In the event of ice, check whether the
blades are stuck to the windscreen
before operating the wiping mecha-
nism. If you activate the wipers while
the blades are stuck down with ice,
you may risk damaging both the
blade and the wiper motor.
– Do not activate the wipers on a dry
screen. This will lead to the prema-
ture wear or damage to the blades.
