The rotary control can be used to adjust

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.

OnB
Low sensitivity
C
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.
WINDSCREEN WASHERS WARNING
Do not operate the washer for more
than 10 seconds at a time, and never
when the reservoir is empty.
Whilst the lever is pulled towards the
steering wheel the washer will work in
conjunction with the wipers.
After releasing the lever, the wipers
operate for a short time.

than 10 seconds at a time, and never
when the reservoir is empty.
While the lever is pushed away from the

HEADLAMP WASHERS
The headlamp washers will operate with
the windscreen washers when the
headlamps are on.
Note:
To stop the washer fluid reservoir
emptying quickly, the headlamp washers
will not operate every time that you use the
windscreen washers. CHECKING THE WIPER
BLADES
Run the tip of your fingers over the edge of
the blade to check for roughness.
Clean the wiper blade lips with water
applied with a soft sponge.
CHANGING THE WIPER
BLADES
Windscreen wiper blades
CAUTIONS
Set the windscreen wipers in the
service position to change the wiper
blades.
You can use the service position in
winter to provide easier access to the
wiper blades for freeing them from
snow and ice. The windscreen wipers will
return to their normal position as soon as
you switch on the ignition so make sure
that the outside of the windscreen is free
from snow and ice before you switch on
the ignition. 54
