RAIN SENSOR/SPEED SENSITIVE  
WIPER CONTROL  
SPEED SENSITIVE WIPERS  
If vehicle speed drops below 6km/h (3.7mph)  
with the wipers operating in positions (2) or  
(3), the wipers will switch to the next lowest  
speed. When vehicle speed increases to over  
6km/h (3.7mph), the original wiper speed  
setting is restored automatically.  
Intermittent operation of the wipers is  
controlled initially by either vehicle speed or a  
rain sensor located at the upper edge of the  
windscreen. Both methods of control will clear  
the screens adequately. Vehicle speed control  
is set by the user and control via a rain sensor  
is automatic.  
DRIP WIPE  
If the drip wipe function is configured, the  
wipers will operate four seconds after a  
wash/wipe cycle has finished, to clear any  
remaining drips from the windscreen.  
This function can be enabled/disabled  
by your Dealer/Authorised Repairer.  
RAIN SENSOR  
This function can be enabled/disabled  
by your Dealer/Authorised Repairer.  
Ensure that the wipers are switched off  
before entering a car wash. If the rain  
sensitive wipers operate during the car  
washing process, damage may occur to  
the wiper mechanism.  
WINTER PARK POSITION  
The wipers can be set to park in a higher  
position than normal. This allows the blades to  
be lifted from the screen to prevent freezing.  
The ‘Wipers winter park’ option can be selected  
from the settings menu. See 56, VEHICLE  
INFORMATION AND SETTINGS MENU.  
The rain sensor is able to detect the presence  
and amount of rain/dirt/snow on the  
windscreen and automatically activates the  
windscreen wipers accordingly. Static droplets  
may not be detected on initial start-up, use a  
single wipe to clear the screen.  
HEADLAMP WASHERS  
To activate the rain sensitivity wipers, move the  
wiper stalk to the rain sensor position (4). A  
single wipe will be actioned.  
The optional headlamp power wash operates  
automatically with the windscreen wash and  
will operate only If the headlamps are switched  
on and there is sufficient washer fluid in the  
reservoir.  
Adjust the rain sensitivity collar (1) as required.  
Increasing sensitivity while position (4) is  
selected will action a single wipe.  
Headlamp wash operates every fourth  
operation of the screen washers, provided the  
headlamps are still switched on and  
approximately ten minutes have elapsed since  
the last headlamp wash.  
If a front door is opened while the wipers are  
operating, the wipers will be disabled.  
Operation will restart when the doors are  
closed again.  
Switching the headlamps or ignition off and  
back on again, will reset the cycle.
