Wipers and washersWINDSCREEN WIPERS
Note:  If the wiper blades do become stuck, or  
jammed, an electronic cut-out may temporarily  
halt the operation of   the wipers. If this  
happens, switch off the wipers and the ignition.  
Clear any obstructions, and free the wiper  
blades before attempting to switch on the 
ignition.
Wiper operation
1.  Rain sensor/intermitt ent variable delay. 
2.  Low speed wipe. 
3.  High speed wipe. 
4.  Single wipe, pull down and release to  
operate.
Intermittent variable delay
The interval in   between wipes can be adjusted  
to suit the conditions. Rotate the control  
upwards to increase th  e time between wipes,  
and down to decrease the time between wipes.
Speed-dependent mode
If the vehicle’s speed drops below 2 km/h (1.2 
mph) with the wipers operating, the wiper  
frequency automatically   reduces. The wipers  
will switch to the next lowest speed. When the 
vehicle’s speed increases to over 8 km/h (5  
mph), the original wiper speed setting is  
restored automatically.
RAIN SENSOR
CAUTIONS 
Do not operate the windscreen wipers on  
a dry screen. The drag on the wiper  
mechanism may   cause damage. 
In freezing, or very hot conditions ensure  
that the wipers have not stuck to the  
windscreen before operating. The drag on the  
wiper mechanism ma  y cause damage. 
Remove any snow, ice, or frost, from the  
windscreen, around the wiper arms and  
blades, and the screen   scuttle before operating  
the wipers. Snow and ic  e can cause damage to  
the wiper mechanism if left uncleared.

CAUTION 
Ensure that the wipers are switched off  
before entering a car wash. If the rain 
sensitive wipers ope  rate during the car  
washing process damage   may occur to the  
wiper mechanism.

Blocked jets
If a washer jet becomes blocked, use a thin  
strand of wire to unblock the jet by inserting  
the wire into the jet. Ensure that the wire is  
completely remove  d after unblocking.
CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES
The wiping edge of the blades should be  
checked, and cleaned pe  riodically. Check the  
blade rubber for cracks  , splits, and roughness.  
If any damage, wear, or roughness is detected 
the blade should be repl  aced immediately to  
prevent damage to the glass. 
Clean the blade edge by wiping with a soft cloth  
or sponge, using warm soapy water.
CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES
Service position
The windscreen wiper se  rvice position allows  
the wipers to be parked in a more accessible  
position. This makes it ea  sier to change wiper  
blades, or free the wipers from frost/ice.
WARNING 
Do not operate the washer jets during  
adjustment. Windscreen washer fluid  
may cause irritation to the eyes and skin.  
Alway read and observe the washer fluid  
manufacturers instructions.
WARNING 
Only use cleaning pr  oducts which have  
been approved for use on automotive 
glass and rubber. Inappr  opriate products can  
cause smearing, and increase glare.
E80573
CAUTIONS 
When checking or changing the wiper  
blades, they can be set to the service  
position, or parked normally. 
The wipers will return to their normal  
parked position when the ignition is  
turned on. To prevent damage to the  
mechanism ensure that they are returned to 
their position against th  e windscreen, and that  
there are no obstructions, ice, or snow present  
on the windscreen.
CAUTION 
If the wipers are set to the service  
position and left there overnight during  
frosty conditions, do not switch the ignition on 
until the wipers   have been freed  from frost/ice.  
The wipers will try to park when the ignition is  
switched on. If they are frozen to the screen 
when this occurs then   this may cause damage  
to the mechanism.
