C automatic wiper function
When this position is selected, the
system detects water on the wind-
screen and triggers the wipers at a
suitable wiping speed. It is possi-
ble to change the triggering thresh-
old and the time sweeps by turn-
ing ring 2:
– F: minimum sensitivity;
– G: maximum sensitivity.
The higher the sensitivity, the quicker
the wipers will react and the faster
the wipe.
When activating automatic wiping or
when increasing sensitivity, one sweep
of the blades is performed.

driving aid. In the event of reduced
visibility, the driver should manually

tomatically triggered and remains
