Automatic windscreen
wipers
The windscreen wipers operate automatically,

driver.
Detection of rainfall is by means of a sensor at
the top centre of the windscreen, behind the
rear view mirror.
Switching on
F Give a short downwards push to the control
stalk.
A wiping cycle confirms that the instruction has
been accepted.
This warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
a message.
Switching off
Lighting and visibility
F Give the control stalk another brief push

wipers must be reactivated by pushing the
control stalk downwards, if the ignition has
been off for more than one minute.

If a fault occurs with the automatic rain
sensitive wipers, the wipers will operate in
intermittent mode.
