Saab 2007 owner manual Rear-window wiper SportCombi

78 Instruments and controls

When the engine has been switched off, the control stalk must be moved to posi- tion 0 and back to position 1 to reactivate the sensor.

Set the sensitivity using the control on the wiper stalk (the same control as used for wiper delay on cars not fitted with a rain sen- sor). The sensor has three sensitivity set- tings. It is most sensitive when in the upper- most position (1). When a higher degree of sensitivity is selected, the wipers make one sweep of the windshield for reference.

The rain sensor has a daylight and a night time mode. The sensor measures the amount of available light and automatically selects the appropriate mode. The sensor is more sensitive at night. The function of the rain sensor is impaired by dry snow.

Rear-window wiper (SportCombi) 3

The rear-window wiper and washer are operated with the same stalk switch as used for washing and wiping the windshield and headlights.

This stalk has two additional switches,

ON/OFF and .

The ON position provides intermittent wip- ing.

The position provides washing and wiping. After a few sweeps the wiper stops or reverts to intermittent wiping, if this has been chosen. About 15 seconds after com- pletion of the washing/wiping of the rear window, the wiper makes a single sweep to wipe away any remaining washer fluid.

Aspring-loaded position between the OFF and ON positions allows for a single sweep of the rear-window wiper.

Intermittent wiping of the rear window occurs when reverse gear is engaged if the windshield wipers are in position 1, 2 or 3, see page 77.
