Wipers & Washers
Wipers & Washers WINDSCREEN WIPER CONTROLS
The wipers and washers will only operate when the starter switch
is in the first or second position.
If the road speed drops below 8 km/h while the wipers are
operating, they will slow to the next slowest operating mode; i.e.
fast wipe to normal wipe, normal wipe to intermittent. This facility
can be manually overridden by changing the wipe setting.
Push the lever up to select different wiper speeds
1. Intermittent wipe
2. Normal speed wipe
3. Fast speed wipe
Single wipe
Pull the lever down and release (if the lever is held down, the
wipers will operate at high speed until the lever is released).
Variable delay - intermittent wipe
Rotate the switch to vary the delay between wipes. The delay will
also vary according to road speed - any increase in speed will
reduce the delay.
Auto-park
Auto-park can be selected or deselected by an MG Rover dealer.
If the starter switch is turned off while the wipers are operating, the
wipers will continue operating until the parked position is reached.
Rain sensor *
Some cars are equipped with an optical rain sensor fitted to the
inside of the windscreen behind the rear view mirror. The sensor
is able to detect varying amounts of dirt and water on the outside
of the windscreen. With the wiper control set to Intermittent
Wipe, the variable delay will be adjusted automatically according
to the information supplied by the rain sensor.
If the sensor detects constant rain, the wipers will operate
continuously at normal speed wipe.
IMPORTANT
•
DO NOT operate the wipers on a dry screen.
•
In freezing or very hot conditions, ensure that the blades are not
frozen or stuck to the glass before being operated.
•
In winter, remove snow or ice from around the arms and blades,
including the wiped area of the screen.
