Lighting and visibility
Front screenwash
► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
The screenwash and windscreen wipers operate
for as long as the control stalk is pulled.
T
ermination of the screenwash is followed by a
final wiping cycle.
The front screenwash jets are integrated in the tips of each arm.
The screenwash fluid is sprayed along the
length of the wiper blade. This improves
visibility and reduces the consumption of
screenwash fluid.
In some cases, depending on the contents
or colour of the fluid and on the exterior
brightness, the liquid spray may be hardly
noticeable.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the screenwash if the
screenwash reservoir is empty.
Only operate the screenwash if there is no
risk of the fluid freezing on the windscreen
and hindering visibility. During the winter
period, use "very cold climate" rated products.
Never top up with water.

► Turn the ring to align the desired symbol with
the marking.

In the event of accumulation of snow or
hard frost or if a bicycle carrier is fitted to
a towing device, deactivate the automatic rear
wiper via the vehicle configuration menu.
Rear screenwash
► Turn the ring all the way towards the
dashboard and hold.
The screenwash and the wiper operate for as
long as the ring remains turned.

screenwashing ends.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This maintenance position is used while cleaning
or replacing the wiper blades. It can also be
useful, in winter (ice, snow), to release the wiper
blades from the windscreen.
To maintain the effectiveness of the flat wiper blades, it is advisable to:
–
handle them with care.
–
clean them regularly using soapy water
.
–
avoid using them to hold cardboard on the
windscreen.
–
replace them at the first signs of wear
.
