Rain sensor
The rain sensor is positioned on the
windshield, directly ahead of the inte-
rior rearview mirror.
To activate the rain sensor:
> From ignition key position 1 and up,
move the lever to position 1. The
wipers travel once across the wind-
shield, regardless of the weather
> You can leave the lever permanently
in position 1. It is then only necessary
to activate the rain sensor from igni-
tion key position 1 and up. Activate
by briefly turning rotary dial 5.
To adjust the sensitivity of the rain
sensor: turn rotary dial 5.
To deactivate the rain sensor: put lever
in position 0.
Deactivate the rain sensor when
passing through an automatic car
wash. Failure to do so could result in
damage caused by undesired wiper
activation.<

When the vehicle is stationary, the
wipers switch automatically to intermit-
tent wipe (not on vehicles with rain
sensor).
Fast wiper speed
When the vehicle is stationary, the
wipers operate at normal speed (not on
vehicles with rain sensor).
