DS 3: Lighting and visibility / Automatic wipers
DS 3 2016-2025 Owners Manual

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,

ignition.
In winter, wait until the windscreen is
completely clear of ice before activating the
automatic wipers.
