DS 3: Lighting and visibility / Automatic wipers
DS 3 2016-2024 Owners Manual
In AUTO mode, the windscreen wipers work
automatically and adapt to the intensity of the
rain.
The rainfall detection function uses a rain/
sunshine sensor located 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.
Switching on
- Give a short downwards push to the control
stalk.
A wiping cycle confirms that the instruction has
been accepted.
This indicator lamp lights up on
the
instrument panel, accompanied by a
message.
Switching off
- Give the control stalk another brief push
downwards or place the control stalk in another
position (Int, 1 or 2).

off for more than
one minute, the automatic wipers must be
reactivated by pushing the control stalk
