reduce the effectiveness of the rain sensor or
make it react more slowly, later or not at all.
● Cracked windscreen: the impact of a stone
will trigger a single wipe cycle with the rain
sensor on. Next the rain sensor detects the
reduction in the sensitive surface area and
adapts accordingly. The behaviour of the sen-
sor will vary with the size of the damage
caused by the stone.
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.
Note
● Clean the sensitive surface of the rain sen-
sor regularly and check the blades for dam-

Mirror
Anti-dazzle rear view mirror
It is dangerous to drive if you cannot see
clearly through the rear window.
Lights and visibility
Rear view 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.
WARNING
In the event that an automatic anti-dazzle
rear vision mirror breaks, an electrolyte fluid
may leak. This could cause irritation to the
skin, eyes and respiratory organs. If you
come into contact with this liquid, it must be
rinsed with large quantities of water. If neces-
sary, get medial help.
CAUTION
In the event that an automatic anti-dazzle
rear vision mirror breaks, an electrolyte fluid
may leak. This liquid attacks plastic surfaces.
Clean it with a wet sponge as soon as possi-
ble.
Note
● If the light incident in the interior rear vi-
sion mirror is obstructed (e.g. with the sun
blind*), the anti-dazzle rear vision mirror with
automatic setting will not operate perfectly.
When the interior lights are on or reverse
●
gear engaged, the mirrors do not darken with
automatic adjustment for anti-dazzle posi-
tion.
