AUTOMATIC LIGHTING OF

Sidelamps and dipped beams come on automatically in poor
ambient light, or if the wipers are in continuous operation. They go out

tion is possible in the menu "Per-
sonalisation/Confi guration" in the "Main menu".
Note: Activation of this function is immediate while deactivation requires the ignition to be switched off.
In fo
g or snow, the light sensor may detect enough light. The lights will therefore not come on automatically.Take care not to cover the bright-
ness sensor, which is visible from
outside the windscreen, behind the interior rear view mirror.

WIPERS
CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES
If you have toreplace them, the wiper blades have to be parked in themaintenance position. For this, switch off theignition and then within one minute move the wiper control stalk. The wipers stand up in a vertical position.
After replacement, switch on the ignitionandmove the wiper control stalk so that the wipers resume their normalposition.Note:this action places the Piloted Defl ector in the maintenance position.
WINDSCREEN WASH
To operate the windscreen wash, pull the wiper stalk towards you.
The screen wash is accompanied by a timed wipe of the windscreen, the
headlamp wash also activates if the dipped beams are on.
The displa
y of a message indicates that there is only approx. one litre of
screen wash fl uid remaining.
In freezing conditions, always check that the wiper blades are free tooperate.
Remove any accumulation of snow at the base of the windscreen.

The Piloted Defl ector enhancesthe aerodynamics and the brakingof your vehicle.
AUTOMATIC DEPLOYMENT
Two deployment stages are pos-sible:The fi rst deployment stageis from around 65 km/h (40 mph). This is maintained
as long as the speed remainsabove approx.25 km/h (16 mph); below this speed,
the Piloted Defl ector retracts completely.
The second deployment stageis from around 125 km/h (78 mph). This is maintained
as long as the speed remainsabove approx.105 km/h (65 mph); below this speed,
the Piloted Defl ector returns
to the fi rst) deployment
stage.

MAINTENANCE
For any maintenance that may be
necessary on your Piloted Defl ec-
tor (leaves or other components jammed), deploy it in the mainte-
nance position: Switch off the igni-
tion then within one minute action
the wiper stalk. Your Piloted Defl ec-
tor deploys.
Next, to retract it, start then drive at over 10 km/h (6 mph).Note: The maintenance position makes the wipers stand up verti-cally. See "Wash/wipe".
ACCESSORIESIt is recommended to place thePiloted Defl ector in the mainte-nance position before installingan accessory on the boot (for example a bicycle-carrier).
Installation of accessories on
the vehicle (roof bars, roof box,
bicycle-carrier, etc.) limits theeffectiveness of the Piloted Defl ector.
Note:Depending on engine-type,certain versions are equipped witha fi xed defl ector.
•
•
If you wash the vehicle with a high pressure system, make sure that thePiloted Defl ector is closed.
