downwards to the "AUTO"
position.

Switching off

This is controlled manually by the driver by moving the stalk upwards
then returning it to position "0"

the ignition has been off for more than one minute, by pushing
the stalk downwards.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with the sunshine sensor
and located in the centre of the windscreen behind the rear view
mirror.

SPECIAL POSITION OF THE WINDSCREEN
WIPERS
To maintain the effectiveness of the "fl at-blade" wiper blades, it is
advisable to:


- handle them with care,

- clean them regularly using soapy water,

- avoid using them to retain cardboard on the windscreen,

- replace them at the fi rst signs of wear.
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.
In the moment following switching the ignition off, any action on the
stalk positions the wipers vertically on the windscreen.
To park the wipers after this has been done, switch on the ignition and
operate the stalk.
