wipers operate in intermittent mode.

qualified workshop.

after switching off the ignition will place the wiper
blades in a vertical position.
► Proceed with the desired operation or the
replacement of the wiper blades.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This maintenance position is used while cleaning
or replacing the wiper blades. It can also be
useful, in wintry weather (ice, snow), to release
the wiper blades from the windscreen.
After refitting a windscreen wiper blade
► Carry out these wiper blade replacement
operations from the driver's side.
► Starting with the wiper blade farthest from
you, hold each arm by the rigid section and raise
it as far as possible.
► To return the wiper blades to their initial
position after the operation, switch on the ignition
and operate the wiper control stalk.
To maintain the effectiveness of the flat
wiper blades, it is advisable to:
– handle them with care.
Take care not to hold the arms at the jet
locations.
Do not touch the wiper blades - risk of
irreparable deformation.
Do not release them while moving them. Risk
of damaging the windscreen!
– clean them regularly using soapy water.
– avoid using them to hold cardboard on the
windscreen.
– replace them at the first signs of wear.
► Clean the windscreen using screenwash
fluid.
Do not apply "Rain X" type water-
repellent products.
