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

stalk.
