Special position of the
windscreen wipers
To maintain the effectiveness of
the "fl at-blade" wiper blades, it is
advisable to:


- handle them with care,

- clean them regularly using
soapy water,

- avoid using them to retain
cardboard on the wind-
screen,

- replace them at the fi rst signs
of wear.
This position permits release of the
windscreen wiper blades.
It is used for cleaning or replacement
of the blades. It can also be useful, in
winter, to detach the blades from the
windscreen.
In the moment following switching the
ignition off, any action on the stalk posi-
tions the wipers vertically on the wind-
screen.
To park the wipers after this has been
done, switch on the ignition and oper-
ate the stalk.
