At the following starting operation (key at MAR), the sensor will not be reactivated even is the stalk is on (B). In this event, to activate the rain sensor, you have to move the stalk to (A) or (C) and then again to (B).

❒ difference between day and night.

Do not activate the rain sensor when washing the car in an automatic washing station.
