WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE
Operating faults
In the event of a malfunction of the au-
tomatic wiping, the wiper is set to inter-
mittent wiping. Contact an authorised
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 unrespon-
sive.

Special note
When driving the vehicle, the wiping
speed slows down whenever the vehi-
A
1
cle stops. For example, fast wiping
speed will slow to normal wiping speed.
B
As soon as the vehicle moves off,
wiping will return to the speed originally
C
selected.
D
If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and
cancels the automatic function.

Precautions
– 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 premature
wear or damage to the blades.
