2017 RENAULT SCENIC Wiper

1.104
WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (3/6)
D slow continuous wiping
E fast continuous wiping
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the au-
tomatic wiping, the wiper is set to inter-
mittent wiping. Contact an authorised
dealer.
The operation of the rain sensor can be
disturbed in the event of:
–
damaged windscreen wiper blades;
a film of water or traces left by a
blade in the sensor’s detection zone
may increase the response time of
the automatic wiper, or increase the
wiping frequency;
– a windscreen with any chip or crack
level with the sensor, or a windscreen
covered in dust, dirt, insects, ice, the
use of washing wax and water-repel-
lent chemicals; the windscreen wiper
will be less sensitive or may even not
react at all. Special note
When driving the vehicle, the wiping
speed slows down whenever the vehi-
cle stops. For example, fast wiping
speed will slow to normal wiping speed.
As soon as the vehicle moves off,
wiping will return to the speed originally
selected.
If stalk
1 is operated, it overrides and
cancels the automatic function.
Precautions
– In the event of ice, check whether the
blades are stuck to the windscreen
before operating the wiping mecha-
nism. If you activate the wipers while
the blades are stuck down with ice,
you may risk damaging both the
blade and the wiper motor.
– Do not activate the wipers on a dry
screen. This will lead to the prema-
ture wear or damage to the blades.
Positions A and D are accessible
with the ignition on. Positions C
and E are accessible only with the
engine running.

1.105
Before any action involving
the windscreen (washing
the vehicle, de-icing,
cleaning the windscreen,
etc.) return stalk 1 to position B
(stop).
Risk of injury and/or damage.
In the event of obstacles present
on the windscreen (dirt, snow, ice,
etc.), clean the windscreen (inclu-
ding the central area located behind
the interior rear-view mirror) and
the rear screen before starting the
wipers (risk of motor overheating).
If an object is preventing a blade
from moving, it may stop functio-
ning. Remove the obstacle and
reactivate the wiper using the wiper
stalk.
WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (4/6)
Note:
Once the wipers have been switched
off, at least 1 minute after locking the
vehicle, it is possible to manually move
the blades. Do not force the blade arms
to move. This may risk damage to the
wiper motor, the arms and the blades.
After your intervention, to reposition the
blades correctly, make sure the blades
are resting on the windscreen, switch
on the ignition and activate the wiper
control.
The blade on the driver’s side must
always be above the passenger blade.
If this is not the case, a quick sweep of
the windscreen wipers should be per-
formed once the vehicle is travelling at
over 4 mph (7 km/h).
Specific front wiper position
(service position)
This position enables the blades to be
lifted to remove them from the winds-
creen.
This can be useful:
– to clean the blades;
– to release the blades from the winds-creen in winter;
– to replace the blades (please refer to the information on the “Wiper
blades” in Section 5).
With the ignition on and the engine off,
lower the windscreen wiper stalk to
position E (fast continuous wipe). The
wiper arms stop in a position away from
the bonnet.
To return the blades to position, make
sure they have been placed on the
windscreen, then move the stalk to po-
sition B (stop) with the ignition on.
Before switching on the ignition,
place the wipers on the windscreen.
Otherwise, there may a risk of damage
to the bonnet or the wipers when they
are switched on.

WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (5/6)
Note:
In temperatures below zero, the washer
liquid risks freezing to the windscreen,
thereby reducing visibility. Heat the
windscreen using the demister control
before cleaning.
Windscreen washer
With the ignition on, pull stalk 1 then
release.
A brief pull will trigger a single sweep
of the wipers, in addition to the wind-
screen washer.
A longer pull will trigger three sweeps
of the wipers followed, a few seconds
later, by a fourth, in addition to the wind-
screen washer.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in position B (stop).
Risk of injury.

WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE (6/6)
Note:
To ensure the headlight washers op-
erate correctly in winter, remove snow
from the jet trims and de-ice the jet
trims using an aerosol de-icer.
You are recommended to regularly
remove dirt encrusted on the headlight
glass.
When the windscreen washer fluid level
reaches minimum:
– the message “Windscreen wash fluid shortage” is displayed on the instru-
ment panel;
– the headlight washer system may be deprimed.
Fill the windscreen washer fluid and
then activate the windscreen washer,
with the engine running , to reprime
the system.
Headlight washers
Headlights on
On vehicles fitted with this, with the
engine running, hold stalk 1 pulled to-
wards you for about 2 seconds: the
headlight washers and windscreen
washers will be activated at the same
time.
The headlight washers are also acti-
vated after three prolonged movements
on the front windscreen washer control.
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in position B (stop).
Risk of injury.

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 wind- screen 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.
YRear screen wiper
With the ignition on, turn ring 3
on stalk 1 to align the symbol with
mark 2.
– stop;
– intermittent wiping. The wipers will pause for several
seconds between sweeps. Wiping
frequency varies with vehicle
speed;
– slow continuous wiping. To stop operation, twist the ring 3 again
to the off position.
Note:
When washing using a roller type car
wash, return the ring 3
on the stalk 1
to the stop position to deactivate auto-
matic wiping.
Follow usage recommendations.
Before any action involving
the rear screen (washing
the vehicle, de-icing, clean-
ing, etc.) return stalk 1 to
the stop position.
Risk of injury and/or damage.

Activation/deactivation of the rear
screen wiper
Engaging reverse gear triggers inter-
mittent wiping (if the front wipers are in
operation). If your vehicle is fitted with
a vehicle settings customisation menu,
you can opt to activate or deactivate
this function. To do this, refer to the in-
formation on the “Vehicle settings cus-
tomisation menu” in Section 1; “Rear
wiping in reverse gear”.
For vehicles not fitted with a settings
customisation menu, you can have this
function deactivated by an authorised
dealer.
REAR SCREEN WASH/WIPE (2/2)
pRear screen wash/wipe
With the ignition on, push and
hold stalk 1, then release.
A longer action will trigger three sweeps
of the wipers followed, a few seconds
later, by a fourth, in addition to the wind-
screen washer.
In the event of obstacles present on the
rear window (dirt, snow, etc.), the wiper
will try to sweep away all the obstacles.
If an obstacle prevents the blade from
moving, it can be stopped. Remove the
obstacle, wait for around 30 seconds
and reactivate the wiper using the wiper
stalk.
Precautions
–
In the event of ice, check whether
the blades are stuck to the wind-
screen before operating the wiping
mechanism. If you activate the wiper
while the blade is blocked by ice, you
risk damaging both the blade and the
wiping motor.
– Do not activate the wipers on a dry
screen. This will lead to premature
wear or damage to the blades.

The “Hybrid Assist” system uses an
electric motor to improve performance
of the combustion engine (acceleration,
starting on a slope etc.). The vehicle
has more acceleration torque available
while consuming less fuel.
BatteriesYour electric vehicle has two types of
battery:
– a 48 V traction battery;
– secondary 12 V battery.
“48 volt” traction battery
Located under the rear floor, this bat-
tery stores the energy recovered during
phases of deceleration. This energy is
used by the hybrid system to provide
additional torque to the combustion
engine.
“HYBRID ASSIST" SYSTEM: introduction (3/5)
Secondary 12V battery
The 12 V battery supplies the energy
required to operate vehicle equipment
(lights, windscreen wipers, ABS etc).
Please refer to the information on the
“Battery” in Section 4.
“48 volt” electrical circuit
The 48 V electrical circuit is denoted
by orange cables and parts bearing the
symbol
ṑ.
All interventions or modi-
fications to the vehicle’s
48 volt electrical system
(components, cables, con-
nectors, traction battery) are strictly
prohibited due to the risks this may
present to your safety. Call an ap-
proved Dealer.
Risk of electric shock.
A
The A symbol denotes the electrical
elements of your vehicle which may
present health risks.
The traction battery does
not require any mainte-
nance. You should not open
it or add any fluid.
Risk of electric shock.
