A
Low sensitivity  
On

C
High sensitivity  
Intermittent wipe  
If you switch autowipers on, the wipers  
will not cycle until water is detected on  
the windscreen. The rain sensor will then  
continuously measure the amount of  
water on the windscreen and adjust the  
speed of the wipers automatically.  
Adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor  
using the rotary control. With low  
sensitivity, the wipers will operate when  
the sensor detects a lot of water on the  
windscreen. With high sensitivity, the  
wipers will operate if the sensor detects  
a small amount of water on the  
windscreen.
