If you switch autowipers on, the wipers
will not cycle until water is detected on
the windscreen. The rain sensor will then
continuously measure the amount of
water on the windscreen and adjust the
speed of the wipers automatically.
Adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor
using the rotary control. With low
sensitivity, the wipers will operate when
the sensor detects a lot of water on the
windscreen. With high sensitivity, the
wipers will operate if the sensor detects
a small amount of water on the
windscreen.

ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM (AFS)
without AFS
A
with AFS
B
The AFS adjusts the headlamp dipped
beam depending on vehicle direction and
speed. It improves visibility when you are
driving at night and helps to reduce
headlamp glare for oncoming drivers.
The headlamps will also move when the
vehicle is stationary and the steering
wheel is turned. To prevent headlamp
glare for the oncoming traffic, they will only
move towards the passenger side of the
vehicle.
The system will not operate when you
have switched on the daytime running
lamps or when you have selected reverse
gear. To activate the AFS when the daytime
running lamps are activated, turn the
lighting control to position
C. See
Lighting control (page 46).
A message will appear in the information
display and the headlamp indicator flashes
if the system malfunctions. See
Information messages (page 73).
The headlamps will move to a fixed central
or dipped position. Have the system
checked as soon as possible.

Overriding the anti-trap function
CAUTION
While you close the window for the
third time, the anti-trap function is
disabled. Make sure there are no
obstacles in the way of the closing

reaches the resistance and let it
reverse.
2. Close the window a third time to the resistance. The anti-trap function is
