matically, without any action on the part
of the driver, if rain is detected (sensor
behind the interior mirror), adapting their
speed to the intensity of the rainfall.
Activation
This is controlled manually by the driver
by pushing lever
A to the "AUTO" posi-
tion.
It is accompanied by a message on the
multifunction display. In the minute following switching off of
the ignition, any action on the stalk posi-
tions the wipers vertically.
This action enables you to position the
wiper blades for winter parking, cleaning
or replacement without damaging the
bonnet.
To park the wipers after this has been
done, switch on the ignition and operate
the stalk.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked
with the brightness sensor and lo-
cated in the centre of the wind-
screen behind the interior mirror.
Switch off the automatic wip-
ing when using an automatic car
wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until

matic wiping. It is accompanied by a message on
the multifunction display.

activated if the ignition has been off
for more than one minute, by push-
ing lever
A downwards.
Switching off
This is controlled manually by the driver
by moving lever A upwards and return-
ing it to position "0" . Operating fault

occurs, the wipers will operate in inter-
mittent mode.

For optimum and lasting wiping of
the "fl at-blade" wiper blades, it is
advisable to:
- handle them with care,
- clean them regularly using soapy water,
- change them approximately every 6 months,
- avoid using them to retain card- board on the windscreen.
