Do not install a booster seat or a

seat that combines a cushion with a
backrest instead of a booster cushion only.

The rotary control can be used to adjust
the intermittent wipe interval. Automatic wiper system
Some models without autowipers are
fitted with a speed-dependent front screen
wiper system.
When the vehicle is slowed to walking
speed or is brought to a standstill, the
wiper speed will automatically switch to
the next lower wiper speed setting.
When the vehicle speed is increased, the
wiper speed will return to the
manually-chosen setting.
Moving the wiper lever when the system is
operating will switch off the system.
If the vehicle is again slowed to walking
speed or is brought to a standstill, the
system is reactivated.
AUTOWIPERS
CAUTIONS
Do not switch autowipers on in dry
weather conditions. The rain sensor
is very sensitive and the wipers may
operate if dirt, mist or flies hit the
windscreen. Replace the wiper blades as soon as
they begin to leave bands of water
and smears. If you do not replace
them, the rain sensor will continue to
detect water on the windscreen and the
wipers will operate, even though the
majority of the windscreen is dry. Fully defrost the windscreen in icy
conditions before you switch
autowipers on.
Switch autowipers off before you
enter a car wash.
Note:
If autolamps have been switched on
in conjunction with autowipers, dipped
headlamps will illuminate automatically
when the rain sensor activates the
windscreen wipers continuously.
