Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with 
the sunshine sensor and located in the 
centre of the windscreen behind the rear 
view mirror.
Switch off the automatic rain sensitive 
wipers when using an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until the 
windscreen is completely clear of ice 
before activating the automatic rain 
sensitive wipers.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the automatic rain 
sensitive wipers, the wipers will operate in 
intermittent mode.
Have it checked by CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Special position of the 
windscreen wipers
This position permits release of the windscreen 
wiper blades.
It is used for cleaning or replacement of the 
blades. It can also be useful, in winter, to 
detach the blades from the windscreen.To maintain the effectiveness of the flat 
wiper blades, it is advisable to:
-
 ha
ndle them with care,
-
 cl
ean them regularly using soapy 
water,
-
 av
oid using them to retain 
cardboard on the windscreen,
-
 re
place them at the first signs of 
w e a r.
F
 An
y action on the wiper stalk in the minute 
after switching off the ignition places the 
blades vertically on the screen.
F
 To p
ark the blades again, switch on the 
ignition and operate the wiper stalk.
