Automatic windscreen
wipers
In AUTO mode, the windscreen wipers operate
automatically, without any action on the part of
the driver. If rain is detected, the wiping adapts to
the intensity of the rainfall automatically.
Detection of rainfall is by means of a rain/
sunshine sensor at the top centre of the
windscreen, behind the rear view mirror.
► Clean the windscreen using screenwash
fluid.
Do not apply "Rain X" type water-
repellent products.
