WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE
Operating faults
In the event of a malfunction of the au-
tomatic wiping, the wiper is set to inter-
mittent wiping.
Call an approved Dealer.
The operation of the rain sensor may
be interrupted in the event of:
– damaged windscreen wipers; a film
of water or traces left by a blade in
the sensor's detection zone may in-
crease the response time of the au-
tomatic 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-repel-
lent chemicals; the windscreen wiper
will be less sensitive or may even not
react at all.

cle stops.

wiping will return to the speed originally
selected.

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.
