Wiper control stalk
Before operating the wipers in wintry
conditions, clear any snow, ice or frost
from the windscreen and around the wiper
arms and blades.
Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windscreen. In extremely hot or cold
weather, check that the wiper blades are not
stuck to the windscreen before operating the
wipers.
After using an automatic car wash, you may temporarily notice abnormal noises
and poorer wiping performance.
You do not
need to replace the wiper blades.
Front wipers



Raise or lower the control to the desired position
to change the wiping speed.
Fast wiping (heavy rain).
Normal wiping (moderate rain).
Intermittent wiping (proportional to the
speed of the vehicle).
Off.
Single wipe (press down and release).
Windscreen wash
► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
The screenwash then the windscreen wipers
operate for a pre-determined time.
The screenwash jets are not adjustable. Do not handle them (risk of damage).
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the screenwash if the
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen
and hindering visibility. During the winter
period, use "very cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers

or replacing the wiper blades. It can also be
