Automatic Rain Sensitive Wipers - CITROËN C3 Handbook

Automatic rain sensitive windscreen wipers
The windscreen wipers operate automatically,
without any action on the part of the driver, if
rain is detected (sensor behind the rear view
mirror), adapting their speed to the intensity of
the rainfall.
Switching on
Briefly push the control stalk
downwards.
A wiping cycle confirms that the
instruction has been accepted.
This symbol appears in the
instrument panel display and a
message is displayed.
Switching off
Briefly push the control stalk
downwards again, or place the control
stalk in another position (Int, 1 or 2).
This symbol disappears from the instrument
panel display and a message is displayed.
The automatic rain sensitive windscreen
wipers must be reactivated, by pushing
the control stalk downwards, if the
ignition has been off for more than
one minute.
Lighting and visibility
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the automatic rain
sensitive wipers, the wipers will operate in
intermittent mode.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with
the sunshine sensor and located in the
centre of the windscreen behind the rear
view mirror.
Switch off the automatic rain sensitive
wipers when using an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until the
windscreen is completely clear of ice
before activating the automatic rain
sensitive wipers.
