Automatic wiping (press down,
then release).
Single wipe (pull the stalk briefly
towards you).
Front screenwash
F Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and hold.
The screenwash and windscreen wiper operate
for as long as the control stalk is pulled.
Termination of the screenwash is followed by a
final wiping cycle.
On vehicles fitted with automatic
air conditioning, any action on the
screenwash control results in temporary
closing of the air intake to avoid odours
inside the passenger compartment.
The screenwash jets are integrated in the
tips of each arm.
The screenwash fluid is sprayed along the
length of the wiper blade. This improves
visibility and reduces the consumption of
screenwash fluid.
In some cases, depending on the contents
or colour of the liquid and on the exterior
brightness, the liquid spray may be hardly
noticeable. 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. Always
use a screenwash fluid suitable for low
temperatures during the winter period.
Never top up with water.
