In AUTO mode, the windscreen wipers operate automatically, without any action on the part of the driver. If rain is detected, the wiping adapts to the intensity of the rainfall automatically.
Detection of rainfall is by means of a rain/sunshine sensor at the top centre of the windscreen, behind the rear view mirror.
Do not cover the rain/sunshine
sensor.
When using an automatic car wash, switch off the automatic wipers and the ignition.
In winter, wait until the windscreen is completely clear of ice before activating the automatic wipers.

A wiping cycle confirms that the instruction has been accepted.
This indicator lamp appears in

Switching off
This indicator lamp disappears
from the
instrument panel display, accompanied by
a message.
If the ignition has been
off for more than
one minute, the automatic wipers must
be reactivated by pushing the control stalk
downwards.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the automatic wipers, the wipers operate in intermittent mode.
Have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
