Intermittent wiping
Set the number of sweeps per time
unit with the thumbwheel when
intermittent wiping is selected.
Continuous wiping
The wipers sweep at normal speed.
The wipers sweep at high speed.
IMPORTANT
Before activating the wipers during winter
ensure that the wiper blades are not frozen
in, and that any snow or ice on the wind-
screen is scraped away.
IMPORTANT
Use plenty of washer fluid when the wipers
are cleaning the windscreen. The wind-
screen must be wet when the windscreen
wipers are operating.
Service position wiper blade
For cleaning the windscreen/wiper blades
and replacement of wiper blades, see Car
wash (p. 410) and Wiper blades (p. 387).
Rain sensor*
The rain sensor automatically starts the wind-
screen wipers based on how much water it
detects on the windscreen. The sensitivity of
the rain sensor can be adjusted using the
thumbwheel.
When the rain sensor is activated a lamp in
the button is illuminated and the rain sensor
symbol
is shown in the combined
instrument panel.
Activating and setting the sensitivity
When activating the rain sensor, the car must
be running or the remote control key in posi-
tion I or II while the windscreen wiper stalk
switch must be in position 0 or in the position
for a single sweep.
Activate the rain sensor by pressing the rain
sensor button
. The windscreen wipers
make one sweep.
Press the stalk switch up for the wipers to
make an extra sweep.
Turn the thumbwheel upward for higher sen-
sitivity and downward for lower sensitivity.
(An extra sweep is made when the thumb-
wheel is turned upward.)
Deactivate
Deactivate the rain sensor by pressing the
rain sensor button
or move the stalk
switch down to another wiper program.
The rain sensor is automatically deactivated
when the remote control key is removed from
the ignition switch or five minutes after the
engine has been switched off.
IMPORTANT
The windscreen wipers could start and be
damaged in an automatic car wash.
Switch off the rain sensor while the car is
in motion or when the remote control key
is in position I or II. The symbol in the
combined instrument panel and the lamp
in the button go out.
Washing the headlamps and windows
Washing function.
Washing the windscreen
Move the stalk switch toward the steering
wheel to start the windscreen and headlamp
washers.
The windscreen wipers will make several
more sweeps and the headlamps are washed
once the stalk switch has been released.
