Lighting and visibility
In fog or snow, the rain/sunshine sensor
may detect sufficient light. For this
reason, the lighting will not come on
automatically.
The inner surface of the windscreen may become misted up and affect the proper
operation of the rain/sunshine sensor.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.

conditions, clear any snow, ice or frost
from the windscreen and around the wiper
arms and blades.
Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windscreen. In extremely hot or cold
weather, check that the wiper blades are not
stuck to the windscreen before operating the
wipers.
After using an automatic car wash, you may temporarily notice abnormal noises
and poorer wiping performance.
You do not
need to replace the wiper blades.

4Fast wiping.
If the ignition has been switched off with
the windscreen wipers active, you must
operate the control stalk again to reactivate
wiping when the ignition is switched on again
(unless the ignition was off for less than
a
minute).
Decreasing or increasing the wiping
frequency
► Rotate the ring to increase/decrease
the wiping frequency (with " INT
" or
"AUTO" wiping position).
Windscreen wash
► Pull the wiper control stalk towards you and
hold.
A
final wiping cycle is performed when
screenwashing ends.
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.
Changing a wiper blade
To check that the wiper blades have not become rough, gently slide your finger
along the blade.
To maintain the effectiveness of the wipers, it
is advisable to:
–
handle them with care.
–
clean them regularly using soapy water
.
–
clean the windscreen regularly with a
special detergent.
–
avoid using them to hold cardboard on the
windscreen.
–
replace them at the first signs of wear
.
For safety reasons and to avoid
damaging the windscreen or the
windscreen wiper blades, always clean them
if foreign bodies
are present (for example:
sand, dust, oil, bird droppings).
Never use petrol, thinner or another similar
solvent to clean the wiper blades.
Never shake, rotate or bend the wiper arm
and 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.
Do not touch the wiper blades - risk of
irreparable deformation.
Do not release them while moving them. Risk
of damaging the windscreen!
►
Clean the windscreen using screenwash
fluid.
Do not apply "Rain X" type water-
repellent products. CarM an uals 2 .c o m
