Lighting and visibility
An additional jet is fitted above the number plate
to clean the reversing camera (depending on
version).
► The washing of the reversing camera is
triggered by operating the rear screenwash.
Adjusting the sensitivity
Automatic windscreen
wipers
In AUTO mode, the front wipers work
automatically and adapt to the intensity of
precipitation depending on the sensitivity of the
sensor selected.
The rainfall detection function uses a rain/
sunshine sensor located at the top centre of the
windscreen, behind the rear view mirror.

Front intermittent wiping
In Intermittent mode, the driver can adjust the
wiping frequency by turning the ring to one of the
5 available positions.
The first position (upper) corresponds to the
lowest sensitivity of the sensor.
The last position (lower) corresponds to the
highest sensitivity of the sensor.
The higher the sensitivity, the faster the system
reacts and increases the wiping frequency.
A rotation of the ring from a higher position to a
lower position triggers a confirmation wiping.
In certain weather conditions (e.g. fog,
frost, snow, projections on salty roads),
the driver may have to return to manual
wiping.
After the ignition has been switched off
for more than 1 minute with the wiper
control stalk in the AUTO position, when the
ignition is switched on again:
– the system works, depending on the
volume of rain detected, as soon as the
vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), if the
outside temperature is below +3°C.
– the system works immediately, depending
on the volume of rain detected, if the outside
temperature is above +3°C.
The first (upper) position corresponds to the
longest time interval between 2 wipes for light
rain.
The last (lower) position corresponds to the
shortest time interval between 2 wipes for heavy
rain.
Switching on/off
To switch on:
► Put the wiper control stalk in the AUTO
position.
► Turn the ring to adjust the sensitivity of the
sensor.
A wiping cycle, accompanied by the display of
a message, confirms that the request has been
taken into account.
► To switch off, put the wiper control stalk in
another position or in the 0 position.
A rotation of the ring from a higher position to a
lower position triggers a confirmation wiping.
After the ignition has been switched off
for more than 1 minute with the wiper
control stalk in the INT, 1 or 2 position, when
the ignition is switched on again:
– the system works as soon as the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h), if the outside
temperature is below +3°C.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine sensor.
When using an automatic car wash,
switch off the automatic wipers and the
ignition.
– the system works immediately, if the
outside temperature is above +3°C.
