Rear windscreen wash, wiper

Rear windscreen wiper

With the ignition on, rotate the ring 3 on the stalk 1 until the symbol is opposite the mark 2
  • off;
  • intermittent wiping;
The wipers will pause for several seconds between sweeps. The wiping frequency varies according to the vehicle speed;
  • slow continuous wiping.
To stop the operation, rotate the ring 3 again.
Note: when washing using a roller type car wash, return the ring 3 on the stalk 1 to the stop position to deactivate automatic wiping.
Follow usage recommendations.
At the end of use, remember to return the rear wiper control to the stop position, so that wiping is not inadvertently activated during the next use.
Tip
Do not use the wiper arm to open or close the tailgate.
WARNING
Before taking any action involving the rear screen (washing the vehicle, de-icing, cleaning, etc.) return the stalk 1 to the off position.
Risk of injury and/or damage.
Tip
Efficiency of a wiper blade
Check the condition of the wiper blades. How long they last depends on you:
  • 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: approximately once a year WIPER BLADES.
Precautions for using the wipers
  • In freezing or snowy conditions, clear the screen before starting the wipers (risk of motor overheating);
  • ensure that no objects are obstructing the travel of the blade.
Activation/deactivation of the rear screen wiper
Engaging reverse gear triggers intermittent wiping (if the front wipers are in operation). If your vehicle is equipped with a vehicle settings customisation menu, you can opt to activate or deactivate this function VEHICLE SETTINGS PERSONALISATION MENU.
For vehicles not fitted with a settings customisation menu, you can have this function deactivated by an authorised dealer.
In the event of obstacles present on the rear window (dirt, snow, etc.), the wiper will try to sweep away all the obstacles. 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 activate 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 rear wiper followed, a few seconds later, by a third (drip wiping function).
When the stalk is released, it returns to the rear wipe position.
Note: a rear washing action at stalk 1 lasting for more than 30 seconds may cause the windscreen washer pump to cut out. This prevents the pump from overheating.
