the rainfall.

of this indicator lamp in the
instrument panel and a message in
the multifunction screen.


Switching off

This is controlled manually by the driver by moving
stalk A
upwards, returning it to position "0"

Operating fault

If an automatic wiping fault occurs, the wipers
will operate in intermittent mode.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
To retain the effectiveness of the "flat-
blade" wiper blades, it is advisable to:


- handle them with care,

- clean them regularly using soapy
water,

- not use them to hold a sheet of
cardboard against the windscreen,

- replace them at the first signs of
wear.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked
with the sunshine sensor and located in
the centre of the windscreen behind the
rear view mirror.
Switch off the automatic wiping when
using an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until the
windscreen is completely clear of ice
before activating the automatic wiping.
This position allows the wiper blades to be lifted
for winter parking, cleaning or replacement
without damaging the bonnet.
In the minute following switching off of the
ignition, any action on the wiper stalk positions
the wipers ver tically.
To park the wipers after this has been done,
switch on the ignition and operate the wiper stalk.
