Position C is accessible with the
ignition on. Positions B and D are
accessible only with the engine run-
ning.
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– they must remain clean: clean the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the winds- creen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year.
Before using the rear wiper, check
that no object obstructs the travel of
the blade.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or
close the tailgate.
