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.  
Do not touch the wiper blades - risk of  
irreversible distortion.  
Do not release them while they are moving -  
risk of damaging the windscreen!  
► Clean the windscreen using screenwash  
fluid.  
Do not apply "Rain X" type water-  
repellent products.  
► Unclip the worn wiper blade closest to you  
and remove it.
