To maintain the effectiveness of the flat  
wiper blades, it is advisable to:  
– handle them with care.  
– clean them regularly using soapy water.  
– avoid using them to hold cardboard on the  
windscreen.  
Reverse gear  
When reverse gear is engaged, if the windscreen  
wipers are operating, the rear wiper will come  
into operation automatically (activated by  
default).  
Your vehicle is fitted with an innovative  
front screenwash system.  
– replace them at the first signs of wear.  
This function is set via the Driving /  
Vehicle touch screen menu.  
The screenwash fluid is sprayed all along  
the length of the wiper blade, so avoiding  
impairment of the driver's view or that of the  
passengers.  
In the event of accumulation of snow or  
hard frost or if a bicycle carrier is fitted to  
a towing system, deactivate the automatic  
rear wiper via the touch screen’s Driving/  
Vehicle menu.
