WARNING
The rain sensor* may not detect enough rain
to switch on the wipers.
● If necessary, switch on the wipers manually
when water on the windscreen obstructs visi-
bility.
CAUTION
In icy conditions, always check that the wind-
screen wipers and the window wiper are not
frozen. If you switch on the windscreen wip-
ers when the wiper blades are frozen to the
windscreen, you could damage both the wip-
er blades and the wiper motor.
Note
● The wipers and washers will work only
when the ignition is switched on.
The heat output of the heated jets* is con-
●
trolled automatically when the ignition is
switched on, depending upon the outside
temperature.
● In certain versions of vehicles with alarms,
the windscreen wiper will only work in inter-
val/rain sensor mode when the ignition is on
and the bonnet closed.

Operation
When the interval wipe function is on, the
●
intervals are directly proportional to the
speed. This way, the higher the vehicle speed
the shorter the intervals.
If you stop the vehicle with the windscreen
●
wiper in position 1 or 2, it will automatically
change to a lower position speed. The set
speed will be resumed when the vehicle pulls
away.
The windscreen will be wiped again after
●
approximately five seconds once the "auto-
matic wash/wipe system" has been activa-
ted, provided the vehicle is moving (drip func-
tion). If you activate the wipers less than 3
seconds after the drip function, a new wash
sequence will begin without performing the
last wipe. For the "drip" function to work
again, you have to turn the ignition off and
then on again.
● Do not put stickers on the windscreen in
front of the rain sensor*. This may cause sen-
sor disruption or faults.
Depending on the version of the model,
●
when you engage reverse gear and with the
headlight wiper activated, this can start a
wipe.

Rear view mirrors

Interior mirror
It is dangerous to drive if you cannot see
clearly through the rear window.
Interior mirror with automatic anti-dazzle
function*
The anti-dazzle function is activated every
time the ignition is switched on.
When the anti-dazzle function is enabled, the
interior rear vision mirror will darken auto-
matically according to the amount of light it
receives. The anti-dazzle function is cancel-
led if reverse gear is engaged.
Note
The automatic anti-dazzle function will only
●
work properly if the sun blind* for the rear
window is retracted and there are no other
objects preventing light from reaching the in-
terior rear vision mirror.
If you have to stick any type of sticker on
●
the windscreen, do not do so in front of the
sensors. Doing so could prevent the anti-daz-
zle function from working well or even from
working at all.
Folding in the exterior mirrors man-
ually
The exterior mirrors of the vehicle may be fol-
ded in. For this, press the mirror housing to-
wards the vehicle.
