Additional information
Behavior of the windshield wipers when op-
erational readiness is switched on
– Wiper lever is in position 1 : Rain sensor is acti-
vated from 2.5 mph (4 km/h).
– Wiper lever is in position 2 or 3 : Windshield
wipers stay off until the wiper lever is moved.
This prevents the windshield wipers from wiping on
an iced-up windshield, for example, when opera-
tional readiness is switched on.
