WIPER
2
Windscreen washer
With the ignition on, pull the stalk
1
then release.
A longer pull will trigger, in addition to
the windscreen washer, two sweeps of
the wipers followed, a few seconds lat-
er, by a third.
Note: in temperatures below zero, the
washer liquid may freeze on the wind-
screen, reducing visibility. Heat the
windscreen using the demister control
before cleaning.
When working in the en-
gine compartment, en-
sure that the windscreen
wiper stalk is in position
B (stop).
Risk of injury.
Efficiency of a wiper
blade
Check the condition of the
wiper blades. How long they last
depends on you:
– it must remain clean: clean the
blade and the screen regularly
with soapy water;
– do not use it when the screen is
dry;
– free it from the screen when it
has not been used for a long time.
In all cases, replace it as soon as
it begins to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year 🡺326.
Precaution for using the wipers
– In freezing or snowy conditions,
clear the screen before starting
the wipers (risk of motor over-
heating);
– ensure that no objects are ob-
structing the travel of the blade.
