Windscreen wipers/washer
Rain sensor (option)
The rain sensor automatically increases or
decreases the speed of the windscreen wipers
based on how much water it detects on the
windscreen. The sensitivity of the rain sensor
can be adjusted using the ring (1).
· Turn the ring upward to increase sensitivity
or down to decrease sensitivity (there is an
extra swipe when the ring is turned
upward).
On/Off
When activating the rain sensor, the ignition key
must be in at least position I and the windscreen
wiper lever must be in position 0.
To activate the rain sensor:
· press the button (2). An LED illuminates in
the button to indicate the rain sensor is
active.
To turn the rain sensor off:
· press the button (2) or
· move the lever downward to another wiper
program. If the lever is raised, the rain
sensor will remain active; the wipers make
an extra sweep and then return to rain
sensor mode when the lever is released to
position 0.
The rain sensor is automatically deactivated
when the key is removed from the ignition
switch or five minutes after the ignition is
switched off.
Windscreen wipers
0 – Windscreen wipers switched off. If the
lever is in the 0 position and you draw it
upwards, the wipers will continue one swipe at
a time as long as you hold the lever up.

You can adjust and set the speed of the
intermittent wipe. Rotate the ring - see 1 in
illustration - upwards to increase wiper stroke
frequency. Twisting the ring downwards
decreases the frequency of wiper strokes.

NOTE:
In an automatic car wash: Turn off the rain
sensor by pressing the button (2) while the
ignition key is in at least position I. Otherwi-
se, the windscreen wipers may start and be
damaged.
Windscreen washer
Pull the lever towards the steering wheel to
activate the windscreen washer.
Headlamp washer
(option in certain markets)
Use of the windscreen washer automatically
activates the headlamp washer.
High-pressure wash of the headlamps consu-
mes a great deal of washer fluid. To save fluid,
the headlamps are only washed every fifth time
(within a ten minute period). If ten minutes
have elapsed since the last windscreen washing,
the headlamps receive a high-pressure wash the
next time the windscreen is washed.
Reduced washing
If only approx. 1 litre of washer fluid remains
in the reservoir, the supply to the headlamps
and the rear window is cut off in order to
prioritise cleaning of the windscreen.
Windscreen washer and
headlamp washer (V70 R)
Pull the lever toward the steering wheel to start
the windscreen and headlamp washers.
