As ice formation is related

to climatic exposure, local

air humidity and temperature, the

external temperature alone is not

sufficient to detect ice.

Special note
When the vehicle is being driven, the

wiping speed slows down whenever

the vehicle stops. For example, fast

wiping speed will slow to normal wiping

speed. As soon as the vehicle moves

off, wiping will return to the speed origi-

nally selected.
If stalk 1 is operated, it overrides and

cancels the automatic function.

If for any reason the wipers are

jammed (eg. frozen to windscreen

by ice, etc.), the system will auto-

matically cut the power supply to

the wipers.

FRONT WINDSCREEN WASHER, WIPER

(2/2)

Before any action on the

windscreen (washing the

vehicle, de-icing, cleaning

the windscreen, etc.) return

stalk 1 to position A (park).
Risk of injury and/or damage.

In freezing or snowy weather, ensure

they are not stuck to the windscreen

(including the central area located

behind the interior rear-view mirror)

and the rear screen before starting

the wipers (risk of motor overheat-

ing).

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.

Replace wiper blades as soon as

their performance starts to diminish:

Approximately every year (refer to

the information on “Wiper blades” in

section 5).

Precautions for using the

wipers

– In freezing or snowy weather,

clear the screen before starting

the wipers (risk of motor over-

heating);

– ensure that no objects are ob-

structing the travel of the blade.
