Peugeot 2008: Lighting and visibility / Automatic windscreen wipers
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.
