Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
NOTE
The rear window wiper is equipped with
overheating protection which means that
the motor is switched off if it overheats. The
rear window wiper works again after a cool-
ing period (30 seconds or longer, depending
on the heat in the motor and the outside
temperature).
Wiper – reversing
Engaging reverse gear while the windscreen
wipers are on initiates intermittent rear window
wiping. If the rear window wiper is already on
at normal speed, no change is made.
The function for intermittent wiping for reverse
can be deactivated. Volvo recommends that
you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
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 (C), see page 61.
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).
