automatically switched off if a trailer is
attached to the vehicle. The front parking
assist will remain active.

Wipers and Washers

WINDSHIELD WIPERS

The windshield wipers and screen wash
functions are controlled by the right-hand
column lever switch and only operate with
the ignition in position II.

The lever functions are as follows:

1. Windshield wipers off and parked.

2. Intermittent wipe.

3. Slow wiper operation.

4. High speed wiper operation.

5. Rotary collar.

Intermittent wipe

When intermittent wipe is selected, the
delay between wipes can be varied. Turn
the collar (5) to vary the delay from three
seconds to 18 seconds.

Flick wipe

Pull the column switch towards the
steering column for a single wipe. Holding
the column switch in this position will
operate the wiper continuously at slow
speed until released.

Rain sensitive wiper control

When AUTO (turn the rotary collar (5) to
AUTO) and intermittent wipe (2) are
selected, the wipers will automatically
operate when rain falls on to the
windshield, or when moisture is present.

For the wipers to operate, the ignition
switch must be in position II.

Note: When starting a journey with a wet
windshield, the rain sensing wipers will
not operate immediately when the ignition
is turned on. Therefore, a flick wipe should
be used to clear the windshield of any
moisture.

Caution:
• Make sure that AUTO is not

selected when entering a car wash
as damage to the wiper blades and
arms can occur.

• During frosty conditions make sure

that AUTO is not selected before
operating the ignition switch, as
damage to the wiper blades can
occur when the windshield is
frozen.

Wipers ON, Lights ON

Note: Some States require lights on when
the wipers are in use.

If the windshield wipers are switched on in
AUTO, slow or fast modes, for more than
20 seconds, then the exterior lamps will
be switched on if selected to autolamps
mode. The lamps will switch off two
minutes after the wipers are switched
OFF, or will go off straight away if
autolamps is de-selected, or the ignition
is turned OFF.
