Note: To set the wipers in the service position
for maintenance, see 197, WIPERS SERVICE
POSITION.
SPEED-DEPENDENT MODE
If the vehicle decelerates to a stop with the
wipers operating*, the wipers will switch to the
next lowest speed. When vehicle speed
increases to over 8 km/h (5 mph), the original
wiper speed settings are restored.
*Not applicable if Automatic rain sensing mode
is selected.
This feature can be enabled/disabled
by a Retailer/Authorised Repairer.
RAIN SENSOR
Make sure 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.
The rain sensor is mounted on the inside of the
windscreen, behind the rear view mirror. The
sensor is able to detect the presence and
amount of water on the windscreen and
automatically activate the windscreen wipers
accordingly.
Note: Static droplets may not be detected on
initial start-up. A single wipe should be used to
clear the windscreen.
To activate the rain sensitive wipers, move the
wiper/washer control to the AUTO position. The
behaviour of the system may be tailored to
driver preference by rotating the collar.
Note: In dry and often sunny conditions, optical
influences and dirt accumulation on the
windscreen may result in the windscreen wipers
activating inadvertently. To prevent this, it is
recommended that under these conditions the
wiper controls are returned to the OFF position.
The Rain sensor feature can be enabled/disabled
in the Instrument panel menu. See 41,
INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU.
HEADLAMP WASHERS
If the headlamps are on, and there is sufficient
liquid in the washer reservoir, operating the
screen wash will also power wash the
headlamps.
The headlamp power wash will operate on every
forth operation of the screen washer, provided
the headlamps are still switched on and
approximately 10 minutes have elapsed since
the last headlamp wash.
Switching the headlamps or ignition off and
back on again, will reset the cycle.
Note: The headlamp power wash is inhibited
when the washer fluid reservoir level is low.
