HEADLIGHT WASHERS
The headlight washers are activated 
automatically when the windscreen washer is 
started and the low beams are on.
The headlight washer and windscreen washer 
share the same fluid tank, and a low fluid level 
is indicated by the same warning light on the 
instrument panel.
The headlight washers are deactivated if the 
vehicle speed exceeds 130 Km/h.RAIN SENSOR 
The function of the rain sensor is to adapt the 
frequency of the windscreen wiper strokes (in 
the intermittent operation mode) to the intensity 
of the rain.
All the other functions controlled by the right-
hand lever (windscreen wipers off, headlight and 
windscreen washer in continuous slow and fast 
operation mode and in temporary fast operation 
mode) remain the same.
The rain sensor is automatically activated when 
shifting the right-hand lever to position 
B and has 
an adjustment range that varies progressively 
from “windscreen wiper off” when the 
windscreen is dry, to” second continuous speed” 
in heavy rain.To adjust the intermittent wiping frequency, shift 
the lever to position 
B, rotate the dial 
F.
Turning the dial clockwise, intermittent operation 
varies from a maximum (fast intermittent 
operation) to a minimum (slow intermittent 
operation).
If the engine is turned off when the windscreen 
wiper is set to automatic with the lever in 
position 
B, to reactivate the feature, the next 
time the engine is started you must shift the 
lever to the standby position 
A, and then back to 
position 
B.
