or
Automatic.
Refer to the corresponding section.
After switching off the ignition, a slight
movement of the windscreen wipers to
store them under the bonnet may occur.
In position 1 or 2, the wiping frequency is
automatically reduced when the speed of
the vehicle drops below 3mph (5km/h).
When the speed is above 6mph (10km/h)
again, the wiping frequency returns to the
original frequency (fast or normal).
If the ignition has been switched off with
the windscreen wiper active, it is
necessary to operate the control stalk to
reactivate the wiping when the ignition is
switched on (unless the ignition is off for less
than 1minute).
Single wipe
► Pull the stalk briefly towards you.
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.
Termination 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.
