specified in the “Maintenance and care”
chapter. RAIN SENSOR
(where provided)
The rain sensor is located behind the dri-

sensor sensitivity.
The increase of the sensitivity of the rain
sensor is signalled by a control and acqui-
sition flick.

the wiper stops after four flicks.
A further stroke after 5 seconds com-
pletes the wiping operation. Do not use the windscreen
wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions, the
