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.
Switching on

- Give a short downwards push to the control stalk.
A wiping cycle confirms that the instruction has been accepted.
This indicator lamp comes on in
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).
This indicator lamp goes off in
the instrument panel, 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 will operate in
intermittent mode.
Have them checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Removing/refitting at the front
Carry out these wiper blade replacement operations from the driver's
side.
Starting with the wiper blade farthest from you, hold each arm by the
rigid section and raise it as far as possible...
Other information:
This system automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel speed sensors with
reference values, which must be reinitialised every time the tyre pressures are
adjusted or a wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it detects a drop in the inflation
pressure of one or more tyres.
Under-inflation detection
