windscreen. Under extremely hot or cold
conditions, ensure that the wiper blades are
not stuck to the windscreen before operating
the wipers.

After refitting a windscreen wiper blade
► To return the wiper blades to their initial
position, switch on the ignition and operate the
wiper control stalk.
Changing a wiper blade
Removing/refitting at the front
► Carry out these wiper blade replacement
operations from the driver's side.
► Starting with the wiper blade farthest from
you, hold each arm by the rigid section and raise
it as far as possible.
Take care not to hold the arms at the jet locations.
Do not touch the wiper blades. Risk of
irreparable deformation.
Do not release them while moving them. Risk
of damaging the windscreen!
On vehicles fitted with automatic air
conditioning, any action on the
screenwash control temporarily closes the air
intake, to avoid odours inside the passenger
compartment.
The windscreen wash jets are incorporated into the tip of each wiper
arm.
Screenwash fluid is sprayed along the length
of the wiper blade. This improves visibility and
reduces screenwash fluid consumption.
In some cases, depending on the contents
or colour of the fluid and on the exterior
brightness, the liquid spray may be barely
noticeable.
To avoid damaging the wiper blades, do not operate the windscreen washer if the
windscreen washer reservoir is empty.
Only operate the windscreen washer if
there is no risk of the fluid freezing on the
windscreen and hindering visibility. Always
use windscreen washer fluid suitable for low
temperatures during the winter period.
Never top up with water.
Rear wiper
Rear wiper selection ring:Off.
Intermittent wiping (proportional to the
speed of the vehicle).

Activation/Deactivation
Activation or deactivation is set via the vehicle
configuration menu.
This system is activated by default.
If a significant accumulation of snow or
ice is present, or when using a bicycle
carrier on the boot, deactivate the automatic
rear wiper.
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:
–

–
clean them regularly using soapy water
,
–
avoid using them to retain cardboard on the
windscreen,
–
replace them at the first signs of wear
.
Before removing a windscreen wiper blade
► Actuating the wiper control stalk within one
minute of switching off the ignition will position
the wiper blades vertically
.
