CAUTIONS
Replace the wiper blades as
soon as they begin to leave
bands of water and smears. If you do
not replace them, the rain sensor will
continue to detect water on the
windscreen and the wipers will
operate, even though the majority of
the windscreen is dry.
Fully defrost the windscreen in
icy conditions before you switch
autowipers on.
Switch autowipers off before you
enter a car wash.
If you switch autowipers on after you
have switched the ignition on, the
wipers will cycle once regardless of
whether the windscreen is wet or dry.
The rain sensor will then continuously
measure the amount of water on the
windscreen and adjust the speed of
the wipers automatically.
If you switch the ignition on with
autowipers already switched on, the
wipers will not cycle until the rain
sensor detects water on the
windscreen.

Adjust the sensitivity of the rain
sensor using the rotary control. If you
set the control to low sensitivity, the
wipers will operate when the sensor
detects a lot of water on the
windscreen. If you set the control to
high sensitivity, the wipers will
operate if the sensor detects a small
amount of water on the windscreen.
