When this position is selected, the system detects water on the windscreen and triggers the wipers at a suitable wiping speed. It is possible to change the triggering threshold and the time sweeps by turning ring 2: NB: in foggy weather or during snowfalls, the wiping is not automatically triggered and remains under the driver’s control. The wipers will pause for several seconds between sweeps. It is possible to change the time between sweeps by turning ring 2. When driving, the wiping speed slows down whenever the vehicle stops.

This Captur is really a love and hate car , it could have been so much better for not much effort on Renault's part. I was first told the smearing and juddering was due to contamination on the screen , it occurred even after I had cleaned the screen with the liquid windscreen fitters use , but after changing to Bosch wipers the screen is cleared perfectly without judder or smearing.
