Operating fault
If an automatic wiping fault occurs, the wipers
will operate in intermittent mode.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
To retain the effectiveness of the "flat-
blade" wiper blades, it is advisable to:
- handle them with care,
- clean them regularly using soapy
water,
- not use them to hold a sheet of
cardboard against the windscreen,
- replace them at the first signs of
wear.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked
with the sunshine sensor and located in
the centre of the windscreen behind the
rear view mirror.
Switch off the automatic wiping when
using an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until the
windscreen is completely clear of ice
before activating the automatic wiping.
This position allows the wiper blades to be lifted
for winter parking, cleaning or replacement
without damaging the bonnet.
In the minute following switching off of the
ignition, any action on the wiper stalk positions
the wipers ver tically.
To park the wipers after this has been done,
switch on the ignition and operate the wiper stalk.

Energy economy mode
System which manages the period of use of cer tain functions to conser ve a sufficient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps, cour tesy
lamps, etc. for a maximum combined period of thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if
the battery is not fully charged.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting (refer to the corresponding
paragraph). If the telephone is being used at
the same time on the MyWay audio
navigation system, it will be interrupted
after 10 minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears on the multifunction screen indicating
that the vehicle has switched to economy mode
and the active functions are put on standby.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically
the next time the vehicle is driven.
)
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, star t the engine and
let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be double
the period for which the engine is left running.
However, this period will always be between
five and thir ty minutes.
