The windscreen wipers operate automati-
cally, 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 rainfall.

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 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.
Do not cover the rain sensor,
linked with the sunshine sen-
sor and located in the centre
of the windscreen behind the rear
view mirror.

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.

wipers must be reactivated if
the ignition has been off for
more than one minute, by pushing
the stalk downwards.

curs, the wipers will operate in intermit-

of the "fl at-blade" type of wiper
blades, it is advisable 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.
