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 thumb-
wheel.
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 position 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 sen-
sor 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 sensitiv-
ity and downward for lower sensitivity. (An extra
sweep is made when the thumbwheel is turned
upward.)

sensor button or move the stalk switch

tion 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
