Automatic wipe A rain sensor, located on the windscreen behind the interior mirror, measures the quantity of water on the windscreen and operates the wipers at the most appropriate speed. To select, move the windscreen wiper stalk to the automatic wipe position (2). The wipers will wipe once. The wipe frequency then depends on how wet the windscreen is. Only select the automatic wipe position in damp weather conditions or when it is raining.

Windscreen wash/wipe 
Pull the wiper stalk towards you. The windscreen washers and wipers will initially operate at a slow speed while the stalk is held. If the stalk is held for more than 2 seconds, the wiper will operate at high speed. When the stalk is released, the wipers will complete their cycle and return to the parked position. After a period of time the wipers will operate once more to wipe any remaining washer fluid from the windscreen. NOTE: The position of the washer jets are set during vehicle manufacture and should not need adjusting.
