chemicals. In this case the windscreen

wiper will be less sensitive or may

even not react at all.

– in the event of temperatures below

zero, automatic wiping is not activated

when the vehicle is started. It is auto-

matically activated as soon as the ve-

the wipers on the windscreen. Other-

wise, there may a risk of damage to

the bonnet or the wipers when they are

switched on.

Any action on the stalk 1 overrides

Precautions

– In the event of ice, check whether

the blades are stuck to the windscreen

before operating the wiping mecha-

nism. If you activate the wipers while

the blades are stuck down with ice,

you may risk damaging both the blade

and the wiper motor.

– Do not activate the wipers on a dry

screen. This will lead to premature

wear or damage to the blades.

Before any action involv-

ing the windscreen

(washing the vehicle, de-

icing, cleaning the wind-

screen, etc.) return the stalk 1 to

position B (off).

Risk of injury and/or damage.

This position enables the blades to be

lifted to remove them from the wind-

screen.

In the event of obstacles on

the windscreen (dirt, snow,

ice etc.), clean the wind-

It may be useful to:

– clean the blades;

– release the blades from the wind-

screen in winter;

– replace the blades ꢀ 357.

located behind the interior rear

view mirror) before starting the

wipers (risk of motor overheating).

If an object is preventing a blade

from moving, it may stop function-

ing. Remove the obstacle and re-

activate the wiper using the wiper

stalk.

To return the blades to the lowered po-

sition, with the ignition on, ensure that

the wipers have folded down onto the

– it must remain clean: clean the

blade and the screen regularly

with soapy water;

– do not use it when the screen is

dry;

– free it from the screen when it

has not been used for a long time.

In all cases, replace it as soon as

it begins to lose efficiency: ap-

proximately once a year ꢀ 357.

Precaution for using the wipers

With the ignition on, pull the stalk 1

then release.

A longer pull will trigger, in addition to

the windscreen washer, two sweeps of

the wipers followed, a few seconds lat-

er, by a third.

– In freezing or snowy conditions,

clear the screen before starting

the wipers (risk of motor over-

heating);

– ensure that no objects are ob-

structing the travel of the blade.

Note: in temperatures below zero, the

washer liquid may freeze on the wind-

screen, reducing visibility. Heat the

windscreen using the demister control

before cleaning.

In the event of obstacles present on

the rear window (dirt, snow, etc.), the

wiper will try to sweep away all the ob-

stacles. If an obstacle prevents the

blade from moving, it can be stopped.

Remove the obstacle, wait for around

30 seconds and reactivate the wiper

using the wiper stalk.

Precautions

– In the event of ice, check that the

blades are not stuck to the windscreen

before operating the wipers. If you acti-

vate the wiper while the blade is

blocked by ice, you risk damaging both

the blade and the wiping motor.

– Do not operate the wipers on a dry

screen. This will lead to the premature

wear or damage to the blades.

Rear screen wash/wipe

With the ignition on, push and

hold the stalk 1 then release it.

Holding the stalk for longer will trigger

(in addition to the windscreen washer)

two sweeps of the wipers followed, a

few seconds later, by a third (drip wip-

ing function).

When the stalk is released, it returns to

the rear wipe position.
