Vertical windscreen wiper
position
Automatic rain sensitive

The windscreen wipers operate automatically,
without any action on the part of the driver, if rain
is detected (sensor behind the rear view mirror),
adapting their speed to the intensity of the rainfall.
Activation
This is controlled manually by the driver by
pushing the stalk downwards to the "AUTO"

position.
It is accompanied by a message in the screen. This position allows the wiper blades to be lifted
for winter parking, cleaning or replacement
without damaging the bonnet.

to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.

this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you
use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.
Coolant specification

manufacturer's recommendations.
Screenwash fluid level
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.Top up the level when necessary.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised,
wait at least one hour after switching off the
engine before carrying out any work.

by two turns to allow the pressure to drop. When
the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
