REAR SCREEN WASHER, WIPER
Y Rear windscreen wiper
With the ignition on, turn the ring 3 on the stalk 1 until the symbol is opposite the 2 mark.
To stop operation, turn the ring 3 again to the off position.
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.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or close the tailgate.
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 WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES.
Precautions for using the wipers
- In freezing or snowy weather, clear the screen before starting the wipers (risk of motor overheating);
- ensure that no objects are obstructing the travel of the blade.
Before any action on the windscreen (washing the vehicle, de-icing, cleaning the windscreen, etc.) return stalk 1 to the park position.
Risk of injury and/or damage.
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. Refer to the multimedia instructions.
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
- If the weather is icy, check that the blade is 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.
p Rear screen wash/wipe
With the ignition on, push and hold stalk 1, then release.
Holding for longer will trigger three sweeps of the wipers followed, a few seconds later, by a fourth, in addition to the windscreen washer.
When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.
Risk of injury.
