This stalk has two additional switches, ON/OFF and . IB1207 When the engine has been switched off, the control stalk must be moved to position 0 and back to position 1 to reactivate the sensor. Set the sensitivity using the control on the wiper stalk (the same control as used for wiper delay on cars not fitted with a rain sensor). The sensor has three sensitivity settings. It is most sensitive when in the uppermost position (1). When a higher degree of sensitivity is selected, the wipers make one sweep of the windshield for reference. The rain sensor has a daylight and a night time mode. The sensor measures the amount of available light and automatically selects the appropriate mode. The sensor is more sensitive at night. The function of the rain sensor is impaired by dry snow. 1 2 The ON position provides intermittent wiping. The position provides washing and wiping. After a few sweeps the wiper stops or reverts to intermittent wiping, if this has been chosen. About 15 seconds after completion of the washing/wiping of the rear window, the wiper makes a single sweep to wipe away any remaining washer fluid. A spring-loaded position between the OFF and ON positions allows for a single sweep of the rear-window wiper. Intermittent wiping of the rear window occurs when reverse gear is engaged if the windshield wipers are in position 1, 2 or 3, see page 77. Rear-window wiper 1 Intermittent wiping 2 Washers
