Vehicles with automatic wiper
function
With the engine running, move stalk 1
– A park.
– B automatic wiper function
When this position is selected, the
system detects water on the wind-
screen and triggers the wipers at a
suitable wiping speed. It is possi-
ble to change the triggering thresh-
old and the time sweeps by turning
ring 2:
– E: minimum sensitivity
– F: maximum sensitivity
NB: in foggy weather or during
snowfalls, the wiping is not automati-
cally triggered and remains under
the driver’s control.
– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.
Special note
When driving,
the wiping speed slows
down whenever the vehicle stops. For
example, fast wiping speed will slow to
normal wiping speed. As soon as the
vehicle moves off, wiping will return to
the speed originally selected. If stalk 1
is operated, it overrides and cancels
the automatic function.
With the ignition on,
move stalk 1
– A park.
– B intermittent wiping.
The wipers will pause for several
seconds between sweeps. It is
possible to change the time be-
tween sweeps by turning ring 2.
– C normal wiping speed.
– D fast wiping speed.

Note:
There is a maintenance position for re-
placing wiper blades.
With the ignition on and the engine
off, lower windscreen wiper stalk 1 fully
(position D). The wiper arms stop in a
position away from the bonnet (please
refer to the information on “Windscreen
wiper blades” in Section 5).
Efficiency of a wiper blade
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. How long they last depends
on you:
– it must remain clean: clean the blade and the screen regularly
with soapy water;
– do not use it when the screen is dry;
– free it from the screen when it has not been used for a long time.
Replace wiper blades as soon as
their performance starts to diminish:
Approximately every year (refer to
the information on “Wiper blades” in
section 5).
Precautions for using the
wipers
– In freezing or snowy weather, clear the screen before starting
the wipers (risk of motor over-
heating);
– ensure that no objects are ob- structing the travel of the blade.
