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.
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.
Special note
When driving, the wiping speed slows down whenever the vehicle stops. For example: the speed will change from a fast wiping speed to normal wiping speed. As soon as the vehicle moves off, wiping will return to the speed originally selected. Any action on stalk 1 overrides and cancels automatic operation.
Starting the vehicle with the stalk in position D triggers a slow continuous sweeping movement. Adjusting the stalk to position D is necessary to trigger a rapid continuous sweeping movement.

Do not try to lift the wiper blades. They cannot remain detached from the windscreen. To replace the blades, refer to Section 5: “Wiper blades”.
When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in position A (park).
Risk of injury.
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.
