Rain sensor (option)
The rain sensor automatically activates the
windscreen wipers based on how much
water it detects on the windscreen. The sen-
sitivity of the rain sensor can be adjusted
using the thumbwheel (C).
Turn the thumbwheel upwards for higher
sensitivity and downwards for lower sensitiv-
ity, (an extra sweep is made when the thum-
bwheel is turned upwards).
On/Off
When activating the rain sensor, the ignition
key must be in position
I or II and the wind-
screen wiper stalk switch must be in
position
0 (not activated).
Activating the rain sensor:
Press the button (B). A display symbol shows
that the rain sensor is active.
To turn the rain sensor off, either:
– Press button (B)
– Press the stalk switch downward to
another wiper program. If the stalk switch
is raised, the rain sensor will remain active,
the wipers make an extra sweep and then
return to rain sensor mode when the stalk
is released to position
0 .
The rain sensor is automatically deactivated
when the key is removed from the ignition
switch or five minutes after the ignition is
switched off.
Thumbwheel
Use the thumbwheel to adjust the frequency
of wiper sweeps when intermittent wiping is
selected, or the sensitivity to rain when the
rain sensor is selected.

At an automatic car wash: Deactivate the
rain sensor by pressing the button (B) while
the ignition key is in position

or
II
. Other-
wise, the windscreen wipers could start
swiping and become damaged.
