84 Instruments and controls<br />
Rain sensor 3<br />
WARNING<br />
Turn the rain sensor off if the ignition is<br />
ON to avoid personal injury when clearing<br />
snow and ice from the windscreen.<br />
NOTICE<br />
Control for setting intermittent wiper delay.<br />
Washers, headlights 3<br />
The headlights are washed at the same time<br />
as the windscreen if the headlights are on.<br />
The headlight washers are activated when<br />
the windscreen washers have been active<br />
for 0.6 s.<br />
The headlights are washed every fifth time<br />
the windscreen washers are used or if<br />
2 minutes have elapsed since the windscreen<br />
was last washed.<br />
The headlight washers are not activated at<br />
speeds in excess of 125 mph (200 km/h).<br />
Turn the rain sensor off before washing<br />
the car in an automatic car wash, to avoid<br />
damaging the windscreen wipers.<br />
The indicator in the DIC is lit when the<br />
rain sensor is activated.<br />
The rain sensor automatically controls the<br />
windscreen wipers. The sensor is located<br />
on the windscreen beside the rear view mirror.<br />
The system varies the frequency of wiping<br />
between single sweeps and continuous<br />
wiping, depending on the amount of precipitation.<br />
Activate the rain sensor by lifting the stalk<br />
switch to the AUTO position. The wipers<br />
make one sweep for reference to see how<br />
much water is on the windscreen. In future,<br />
the sensor compares the amount of water<br />
on the windscreen with this reference value.<br />
Windscreen wipers with rain sensor<br />
0 OFF<br />
1 Single sweep<br />
2 AUTO - rain sensor engaged<br />
3 Low speed<br />
4 High speed<br />
5 Windscreen and headlight washers 3<br />
If the stalk switch is left in the AUTO position<br />
when the engine is switched off, when the<br />
engine is next started it must first be moved<br />
to the 0 or 3 position and then back to AUTO<br />
to reactivate the sensor.<br />
If the system malfunctions, the wipers will<br />
operate at low speed when the stalk switch<br />
is set to the AUTO position.<br />
The following message appears on the DIC<br />
at the same time:<br />
Rain sensor malfunc.<br />
