Special position of the
windscreen wipers
In the minute following switching off
of the ignition, any action on the stalk
positions the wipers in the centre of
the windscreen.
This action enables you to position
the wiper blades for winter parking,
cleaning or replacement.
To park the wipers after this has
been done, switch on the ignition
and operate the stalk. For optimum and lasting wiping of
the "fl at-blade" wiper blades, it is
advisable to:
- handle them with care,
- clean them regularly using soapy water,
-
change them approximately every
6 months,
- avoid using them to retain card- board on the windscreen.
