REAR SCREEN WASHER, WIPER
Y Rear windscreen wiper
With the ignition on, turn ring 3 on stalk 1 to align the symbol with mark 2.
- stop;
- intermittent wiping.
The wipers will pause for several seconds between sweeps.
To stop the operation, pivot ring 3 again.
Note:
When washing using a roller type car wash, return the ring 3 on the stalk 1 to the stop position to deactivate automatic wiping.
Follow usage recommendations.
Do not use the wiper arm to open or close the tailgate.
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: approximately once a year. WIPER BLADES: replacement.
Precaution for using the wipers
- In freezing or snowy weather conditions, clear the screen before starting the wipers (risk of motor overheating);
- ensure that no objects are obstructing the travel of the blade.
Before any action involving the rear screen (washing the vehicle, de-icing, cleaning, etc.) return stalk 1 to the stop position.
Risk of injury and/or damage.
In the event of obstacles present on the rear window (dirt, snow, etc.), the wiper will try to sweep away all the obstacles. If an obstacle prevents the blade from moving, it can be stopped. Remove the obstacle, wait for around 30 seconds and reactivate the wiper using the wiper stalk.
Precautions
- In the event of ice, check that the blades are not stuck to the windscreen before operating the wipers. If you activate the wiper while the blade is blocked by ice, you risk damaging both the blade and the wiping motor.
- Do not operate the wipers on a dry screen. This will lead to the premature wear or damage to the blades.
p Rear screen wash/wipe
With the ignition on, push and hold stalk 1, then release.
Holding the stalk for longer will trigger (in addition to the windscreen washer) two sweeps of the wipers followed, a few seconds later, by a third (drip wiping function).
When the stalk is released, it returns to the rear wipe position.
