02 Instruments and controls

Right-hand stalk switch

Rain sensor*
The rain sensor automatically activates the
windscreen wipers based on how much water
it detects on the windscreen. The sensitivity of
the rain sensor can be adjusted using the
thumbwheel.
Turn the thumbwheel upwards for higher sen-
sitivity and downwards for lower sensitivity. (An
extra sweep is made when the thumbwheel is
turned upwards.)
On/Off
When activating the rain sensor, the remote
control key must be in position I or II and the
windscreen wiper stalk switch must be in posi-
tion 0 (not activated).
To activate the rain sensor:
±
Press the button. A lamp in the button illu-
minates to indicate that the rain sensor is
active.
To turn the rain sensor off, either:
•
Press the button. The lamp in the button
goes out.
•
Press the stalk switch downward to
another wiper program. If the stalk switch
is raised, the rain sensor will remain active,
the wipers make an extra sweep and then
return to rain sensor mode when the stalk
is released to position 0.
