is detected (sensor behind the rear view mirror),
adapting their speed to the intensity of the rainfall.
Activation
This is controlled manually by the driver
by pushing the stalk downwards to the
"AUTO"


position.
It is accompanied by a message in the screen. This position allows the wiper blades to be lifted
for winter parking, cleaning or replacement
without damaging the bonnet.
