At the following starting operation (key at MAR), the sensor will not be reactivated even is the stalk is on (B). In this event, to activate the rain sensor, you have to move the stalk to (A) or (C) and then again to (B).

When the rain sensor is again activated in this way, at least one windscreen wiper stroke occurs, even if the windscreen is dry.

The rain sensor is able to recognize and automatically adjust itself in the presence of the following particular conditions:

❒ impurities on the controlled surface (salt, dirt, etc.);
❒ straks of water caused by worn wiper blades;
❒ difference between day and night.

Do not activate the rain sensor when washing the car in an automatic washing station.

In the event of ice on the windscreen, make sure to have disconnected the device.
