With the ignition on, move
stalk 1:
A park
B intermittent wiping
The wipers will pause for sev -
eral seconds between sweeps.
Depending on the vehicle, it is pos-
sible to change the time between
sweeps by turning ring 2.
C normal wiping speed
D fast wiping speed
Special note
When driving every time the vehi -
cle stops, the wipers slow down, e.g.
fast wiping speed is reduced to normal
wiping speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off,
wiping will return to the speed originally
selected.
Any action on stalk 1 overrides and
cancels automatic operation.
Vehicles with automatic wiper
function
With the engine running, move
stalk 1:
A park
B automatic wiper function
When this position is selected, the
system detects the presence of
water on the windscreen and triggers
wiping at a suitable wiping speed. It
is possible to change the time be -
tween sweeps by turning ring 2.
C normal wiping speed
D fast wiping speed
With the vehicle stationary, if for
any reason the wipers cannot move
(e.g. stuck to windscreen by ice),
the system will automatically cut off
the power supply to the wipers.

Wipers (replacing blades)
WIndscreen WIPer BLades
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– clean the blades and the wind -
screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind-
screen is dry;
– free them from the windscreen
when they have not been used
for a long time.
replacing windscreen wiper
blades 1
– Lift the windscreen wiper arm 3 as
far as it will go (the arm does not lift
up completely);
– press button 2 and slide the wiper
blade sideways to release hook 4 on
the wiper arm.
– In frosty weather, make
sure that the wiper blades
are not stuck by ice (to
avoid the risk of the motor
overheating).
– Check the condition of the wiper
blades.
Replace the wiper blades as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency
(approximately once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care
not to drop the arm onto the window
after it has been removed as this
may break the window.
