headlamp wash
Screenwash and washer jets
F Pull the wiper control stalk towards you. The
screenwash and then the wiper operate for
a fixed duration.
A few moments after releasing the screenwash
control, there is one last wipe of the screen to
wipe away any excess.
F In the minute following ignition switch-off,
any operation of the wiper control stalk will
position the wiper blades vertically.
When the system is no longer powered, at least
one minute after the ignition is switched off, it is
possible to move the arms manually.
F To park the wiper blades again, gently fold
the arms onto the windscreen, switch on the
ignition and operate the wiper stalk.
Washer jet adjustment
The headlamp washers operate while the
vehicle is moving and the dipped beams are
on. However, to reduce the consumption of
the screenwash fluid, the headlamp washers
only operate with every seventh use of the
screenwash or every 25 miles (40 km) during
a given journey.
To maintain the effectiveness of the wiper
blades, it is advisable to:
-
-
handle them with care,
clean them regularly using soapy
water,
-
-
avoid using them to retain cardboard
on the windscreen,
replace them at the first signs of wear.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
The front screenwash includes a washer jet
height adjustment device.
If you wish to change the factory setting, turn
the screw of each washer jet anticlockwise,
towards the "+" to raise the jet or clockwise,
towards the "-", to lower it.
This maintenance position allows you to
release the front windscreen wiper blades in
order to clean their rubber inserts or to replace
the blades. It can also be useful in winter to
release the wiper blades from the windscreen.
The arms must only be replaced by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
