Low screen wash
If the low washer fluid warning is on, the
windscreen wipers will not operate when the
wash/wipe is activated, even though there may
be washer fluid remaining in the reservoir
which is sprayed onto the screen. This is to
prevent damage to the wiper blades, scratching
of the glass or smearing dirt across the screen.
Normal, fast or single wipe can be selected
manually, to clear any spray from the
windscreen.
Timed jet function
If the timed jet func tion is configured,
the washer jets will only operate on the
up stroke of the wipers.
This function can be enabled/disabled by your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Drip wipe
If the drip wipe function is configured,
the wipers will operate four seconds
after a wash wipe cycle has finished, to
clear any remaining drips from the windscreen.
This function can be enabled/disabled by your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
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.
HEADLAMP WASHERS
Headlamp power wash operates automatically
with the windscreen wash, and will only
operate if the headlamps are switched on and
there is sufficient washer fluid in the reservoir.
Headlamp wash operates with every fourth
operation of the screen wa shers, provided that
ten minutes have elapsed since the last
operation of the headlamp washers.
Note: The power wash sequence is reset when
the headlamps or the ignition are turned off.
Note: Headlamp power wash is inhibited when
the low washer fluid warning is on.
CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES
The wiping edge of the blades should be
checked and cleaned periodically. Check the
blade rubber and replace the blade immediately
if cracks, splits or roughness are detected, to
prevent damage to the glass.
Clean the blade edge by wiping with a soft cloth
or sponge, using wa rm soapy water.
If the wipers fail to clear the windscreen when
operated, check the cond ition of the blade and
replace if necessary.
WARNING
Do not operate the washer jets during
adjustment. Windscreen washer fluid
may cause irritation to the eyes and
skin. Always read and observe the washer fluid
manufacturers instructions.
WARNING
Only use cleani ng products which
have been approved for use on
automotive glass and rubber.
Inappropriate products can cause smearing,
and increase glare.

the single wipe positi on, press the ignition
START/STOP button to switch on the
ignition.
The wipers will move to the vertical (service)
position. Release the wiper stalk.
