2 Work of screen wipers with a normal rate.

3 Work of screen wipers with the raised frequency.

4 Single inclusion of screen wipers.

5 Work стеклоомывателей in an automatic mode.

6 Regulator of an interval of inclusion of screen wipers at work in an interval mode / sensitivity of the gauge of intensity of a rain.

1 Interval mode or the intensity gauge дождя*


Interval mode


The interval between inclusions can be regulated in steps by the corrugated castor 6 having four positions. In addition the inclusion interval is automatically regulated depending on actual speed of movement.

The gauge of intensity of a rain

The gauge allows to regulate automatically frequency of work of screen wipers depending on intensity of a rain or a snowfall. It means that at the included gauge you should not care of inclusion any more both deenergizing of screen wipers and switching from one mode of their work on another. You can concentrate the attention to road completely. It is especially important under bad weather conditions and promotes большей to traffic safety and increase of convenience of driving.

If screen wipers are included on an interval operating mode they react at once, if, for example, on a windscreen of your car water from under wheels ahead of the going car has got.

The infra-red radiator directs through optical system light on a windscreen surface in such a manner that at dry glass this light is reflected completely. The gauge measures intensity of reflected light.

If has flown down it is covered by water drops reflexion degree decreases as infra-red light partially passes through glass. Intensity of reflected light allows to define degree of humidifying of a windscreen.

Gauge inclusion


After ignition key turn in position 1 or 2 translate the lever switch in position 1. There will be a single operation of screen wipers.

You can leave for long time the lever switch in position 1, and then to you will be enough the ambassador of turn of the ignition key in position 1
To include the gauge of intensity of a rain. For this purpose:

- Turn corrugated a castor 6 or
- Involve an automatic operating mode стеклоомывателей.

The corrugated castor 6 will allow you to regulate sensitivity of the gauge according to your wishes.

At journey of jet washers disconnect the gauge as inadvertent operation of screen wipers can lead to their breakage.

2 Work of screen wipers with a normal rate


At a car stop there is an automatic switching on an interval operating mode (it does not concern cars with the gauge of intensity of a rain).

3 Work of screen wipers with the raised frequency


At a stop of the car screen wipers work with a normal rate (it does not concern cars with the gauge of intensity of a rain).

5 Work стеклоомывателей in an automatic mode


Spraying of a windscreen by washing liquid is accompanied by short-term inclusion of screen wipers.

Short-term influence on the lever switch the washing liquid moves on a windscreen, but screen wipers do not join.

Washers фар*


If devices of illumination of the car at every fifth operation of washers of a windscreen in an automatic mode there is an automatic washing of headlights are included.

In order to avoid visibility deterioration it is necessary to use washers only in the event that freezing of a washing liquid on a windscreen is excluded.
Use a special nonfreezing liquid.

In order to avoid pump damage стеклоомывателей it cannot be included in the absence of a liquid in the tank.

Atomizers стеклоомывателей


Heating is carried out automatically * if the ignition key is thus in position 2.
