WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (3/6)
Operating fault
Special note
In the event of a malfunction of the
automatic wiping, the wiper is set to
intermittent wiping. Contact an authorised dealer.
The operation of the rain sensor can
be disturbed in the event of:
– damaged wiper blades; a screen
of water or traces left by a blade in
the sensor’s detection zone may
increase the response time of the
automatic wiper, or increase the
wiping frequency;
– a windscreen with any chip or
crack level with the sensor, or a
windscreen covered in dust, dirt,
insects, ice, the use of washing
wax and water-repellent chemicals; the automatic wiping will
be less sensitive, or even unresponsive.
When driving the vehicle, 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.

Precautions
– In the event of ice, check whether the
blades are stuck to the windscreen
before operating the wiping mechanism. If you activate the wipers while
the blades are stuck down with ice,
you may risk damaging both the
blade and the wiper motor.
– Do not activate the wipers on a dry
screen. This will lead to the premature wear or damage to the blades.
Positions A and D are accessible
with the ignition on. Positions B
and E are accessible only with the
engine running.
