Replacing the windscreen wiper blades
Proceed as follows:
❍lift the windscreen wiper arm, press the tab A-fig. 166 of the
fastening clip and extract the blade from the arm;
❍fit the new blade, inserting the tab into the dedicated housing
in the arm. Make sure that the new blade is secured in posi-
tion.
❍lower the windscreen wiper arm on the windscreen.
Lifting the wiper blades
When the wiper blades have to be lifted from the windscreen (i.e.
in the event of snow), proceed as follows:
❍turn the ignition key to the MAR position;
❍operate the lever to the right of the steering wheel to activate
a windscreen wiper stroke (see paragraph "Window wash-
ing" in chapter "Getting to know your car");
❍turn the ignition key to the STOP position when the driver's
side wiper blade reaches the windscreen side pillar and lift the
windscreen wiper to the rest position;
❍bring the wiper blades back into contact with the windscreen
before activating the windscreen wiper.
