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.
