Rain sensor (option)
The rain sensor automatically activates the
windscreen wipers based on how much wa-
ter it detects on the windscreen. The sensitiv-
ity of the rain sensor can be adjusted using
the thumbwheel (C).
Turn the thumbwheel clockwise for higher
sensitivity and anticlockwise for lower sensi-
tivity. (An extra sweep is made when the
thumbwheel is turned clockwise.)
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.
Activating the rain sensor
Press the button (B). A display symbol shows
that the rain sensor is active.
Deactivating the rain sensor
Select one of the following:
– Press button (B)
– Press the stalk switch downward to anoth-
er 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 sweeps when intermittent wiping is select-
ed, or the sensitivity to rain when the rain
sensor is selected.
IMPORTANT
At an automatic car wash: Deactivate the
rain sensor by pressing the button (B) while
the ignition key is in position
I or II . Other-
wise, the windscreen wipers could start
swiping and become damaged.
