WINDSCREEN WASH, WIPE
With the ignition on, move stalk 1
- A park.
- B intermittent wiping.
The wipers will pause for several seconds between sweeps. It is possible to change the time between sweeps by turning ring 2.
- C normal wiping speed.
- D fast wiping speed.
Special note
When driving, the wiping speed slows down whenever the vehicle stops. The speed will change from fast wiping speed to normal wiping speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off, wiping will return to the speed originally selected. If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and cancels the automatic function.
Vehicles with automatic wiper function
With the engine running, move stalk 1
- A park.
- B automatic wiper function
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:
- E: minimum sensitivity
- F: maximum sensitivity
NB: in foggy weather or during snowfalls, the wiping is not automatically triggered and remains under the driver’s control.
- C normal wiping speed.
- D fast wiping speed.
Positions B, C and D are accessible with the ignition on.
When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in position A (park).
Risk of injury.
Position C is accessible with the ignition on. Positions B and D are accessible only with the engine running.
Windscreen washer
With the ignition on, pull stalk 1 towards you.
A brief pull will trigger a single sweep of the wipers, in addition to the windscreen washer.
A longer pull will trigger three sweeps of the wipers followed, a few seconds later, by a fourth, in addition to the windscreen washer.
Before any action involving the windscreen (washing the vehicle, de-icing, cleaning the windscreen, etc.) return stalk 1 to position A (park).
Risk of injury and/or damage.
In freezing or snowy weather, ensure they are not stuck to the windscreen (including the central area located behind the interior rear-view mirror) and the rear screen before starting the wipers (risk of motor overheating).
Check the condition of the wiper blades. You are responsible for their service life:
- they must remain clean: clean the blades, windscreen and rear screen regularly with soapy water;
- do not use them when the windscreen or rear screen are dry;
- free them from the windscreen or rear screen when they have not been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon as they begin to lose efficiency: approximately once a year.
Before using the windscreen wiper, check that no objects are obstructing the travel of the blade.
