Special position of the windscreen wipers Automatic rain sensitive windscreen wipers
The windscreen wipers operate auto-
matically, without any action on the part
of the driver, if rain is detected (sensor
behind the rear view mirror), adapting
their speed to the intensity of the rain-
fall.
Activation
This is controlled manually by the driver
by pushing the stalk downwards to the

"AUTO" position.
It is accompanied by a message on the
multifunction screen. 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 off of
the ignition, any action on the stalk posi-
tions the wipers vertically on the wind-
screen.
Do not cover the rain sensor,
linked with the brightness sen-
sor and located in the centre
of the windscreen behind the rear
view mirror.
Switch off the automatic rain sensi-
tive wipers when using an automatic
car wash.
In winter, to avoid damaging the wiper
blades, it is advisable to wait until the
windscreen is completely clear of ice
before activating the automatic rain
sensitive wipers. The automatic rain sensitive
wipers must be reactivated if
the ignition has been off for
more than one minute, by pushing
the stalk downwards.
Switching off
This is controlled manually by the driver
by moving the stalk upwards then re-
turning it to position "0" .
It is accompanied by a message on the
multifunction screen. Operating fault
If an automatic wiping malfunction oc-
curs, the wipers will operate in intermit-
tent mode.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
To park the wipers after this
has been done, switch on the
ignition and operate the stalk.
For maintain the effectiveness of the
"fl at-blade" wiper blades, it is advis-
able to:
- handle them with care,
- clean them regularly using soapy water,
- avoid using them to retain card- board on the windscreen.
- replace them at the fi rst signs of wear.
